Aspen Early Childhood and Health Forum: Aligning and Streamlining Systems to Secure Better Outcomes for Families

View Report

In the summer of 2018, Ascend gathered more than two dozen state and national policy experts and other leaders in the fields of health and early learning at its Aspen Meadows Campus in Aspen, Colorado, to discuss the growing opportunity to leverage the 2Gen approach at the state level and determine how best to take promising new innovations to scale.

This report discusses specific actions leaders at the local, state, and federal level can keep doing, start doing, or stop doing to get systems alignment and services right for children and families. The report summarizes these recommendations and shares examples from four states that are leading the way.
