APPLETREE Program Resources
Through the (ATSDR)'s titled ATSDR's Partnership to Promote Local Efforts to Reduce Environmental Exposure (APPLETREE) Program, some state health departments received funding and guidance to develop resources for ECE stakeholders. The COVID-19 ECE Collaborative provided support to 16 states to assist in COVID-19 response efforts in ECE facilities and schools.
