Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency Community Health Branch achieved national public health accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board in November 2017. The accreditation process is rigorous and demonstrates the meeting of national standards of public health department performance. Yolo County is one of only 11 local California health departments to achieve public health accreditation.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
National public health accreditation was officially launched by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) in September 2011. Yolo County public health accreditation was achieved through the close partnership with the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, Health Council, community health improvement plan (CHIP) partners, environmental health, human resources, and administration. The PHAB site visitors were especially impressed with the Health Council, leadership in the Health and Human Services Agency and Community Health Branch, the CHIP, and the efforts to build a performance management system including the CHIP dashboard.
