National Accreditation
Often called the “backbone” of the public health system, public health agencies are on the front lines of communities’ efforts to protect and promote health and prevent disease and injury. Across the nation, health districts provide services aimed at promoting healthy behaviors; preventing diseases and injuries; ensuring access to safe food, water, clean air, and life-saving immunizations; and preparing for and responding to public health emergencies.
“Our health district’s status as accredited is a testament to the ongoing excellence of this organization. Effective public health has always been our priority, so we are very pleased that this philosophy was recognized by PHAB.” said Health Commissioner, Wesley Vins, MS. “We hope this announcement, coming as it does after our rapidly unfolding successful public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is confirmation to our community, local businesses and our partner organizations that our staff is committed to quality improvement and responsive to the needs of our community.”
About the Public Health Accreditation Board- Established in 2007, The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is the nonprofit organization that administers the national accreditation program, which aims to advance and transform public health practice by championing performance improvement, strong infrastructure, and innovation. PHAB was created to serve as the national public health accrediting body and is jointly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
