Thank you for all your effort and support during this Accreditation process. We could not have done it without you!
What is Public Health Accreditation?
Accreditation is the measurement of our health department’s performance against a set of nationally recognized, practice-focused and evidenced-based standards. These standards assess the health department’s capacity to deliver the three (3) core functions and ten (10) essential services of Public Health.
Accreditation Timeline
There are seven steps in the accreditation process.
Current Progress: Step 6 – Reports
The submission of annual reports is required of all accredited health departments. Annual reports describe how the health department has addressed areas identified by the Accreditation Committee as priority areas for improvement. Reports will also state that the health department continues to be in conformity with all the standards and measures of the version under which accreditation was received.
