Public Health Accreditation                    

 

NALBOH, in partnership with the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) and other national partners, is working to support a voluntary national public health accreditation program. Eligible tribal, territorial, state, and local health departments can now apply for accreditation through PHAB. Boards of health play an important role in supporting these public health agencies pursue of public health accreditation.

 

PHAB was established in 2007 to develop and oversee a national program for the voluntary accreditation of state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments. The goal of the voluntary national accreditation program is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing the quality and performance of state and local public health departments. PHAB is led by a Board of Directors that includes state, tribal, and local public health leaders and is jointly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
