National Public Health Accreditation is a process that evaluates and recognizes public health departments in the United States for meeting specific standards of performance. This accreditation ensures that these departments are effectively serving their communities and improving public health outcomes. The accreditation process is managed by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), which sets criteria based on best practices in public health. Achieving accreditation demonstrates a commitment to quality and accountability, helping to enhance the overall effectiveness of public health systems across the nation.
