On Friday April 10, 2015, the Health Department submitted our final evidence to the Public Health Accreditation Board, thus concluding a yearlong documentation collection phase.  Over 2,000 documents were reviewed and analyzed with only the best being selected for submittal.
 
To date, we have made several agency improvements:

·      Standardized quality improvement efforts in each Health Department program;
