Project Public Health Ready
|
Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) is a criteria-based public health preparedness program that assesses local health department (LHD) capacity and capability to plan for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies. PPHR aims to protect the public's health and increase the public health infrastructure by equipping local health departments with sustainable tools to plan, train, and exercise using a continuous improvement model. Since 2004, 300 LHDs have been recognized as meeting all the PPHR requirements individually or working collaboratively as a region. Click on states in blue below to view the PPHR-recognized LHDs in that state. Please visit our PPHR Overview page to learn more about the program and how your health department can become involved. Current PPHR applicants in need of resources to assist them with developing their applications should visit our Current Applicants page. To learn more about the opportunity to serve as a reviewer for PPHR applications, please visit our PPHR National Reviewer page. NACCHO is excited to announce two new resources that highlight the linkages between NACCHO's Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) Criteria and two other national standards-based programs: Public Health Accreditation Board's (PHAB) national accreditation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement.
