In 2012 ECOP created a national task force on health to identify systemwide priorities. This group produced a National Framework for Health and Wellness, approved by ECOP in 2014. In 2020, ECOP recognized the need to update guidance in this area and appointed a Health Innovation Task Force to provide recommendations for system-level change to further advance Cooperative Extension’s work in the area of health. Those recommendations are included in this document.
