NEW!! ASTHO Congratulates Eight States Selected as PHAB Beta Test Sites
The Public Health Accreditation Board recently selected 30 public health departments to test the accreditation standards that will ultimately be offered nationwide.
From fall 2009 through the end of 2010 the state health agencies in Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Washington, and Wyoming will implement and evaluate the accreditation program, along with 19 local and three tribal health departments. With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, ASTHO will support the states throughout the testing and accreditation process.
