In order to improve the health of the public, the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is creating a national, voluntary accreditation program for state, local, territorial and tribal public health departments.
The goal of accreditation is to improve and protect the health of every community by advancing the quality and performance of public health departments.
