Frederick County is invested in working to reduce ACEs. The 2016 Local Health Improvement Plan identified ACEs as a community priority and there is a work group focused on ACEs. For more information, please see the Local Health Improvement Process page and look for the ACEs Action Plan or most recent presentation.
We know that ACEs are incredibly impactful in the life of a child. Together with our partners, we are committed to ending the adversities children at risk face.
