24 Agencies Achieve Project Public Health Ready Recognition

Jan 22, 2018

This month, NACCHO’s Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) program recognized or re-recognized 24 local and regional health agencies for their ability to plan for, respond to and recover from public health emergencies.

Nine agencies from Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Utah, Virginia, Texas and North Carolina earned PPHR recognition for the first time, and 15 agencies from Colorado, Florida, Louisiana and Pennsylvania achieved PPHR re-recognition status.

PPHR recognition reflects an agency’s dedication to successfully complete the application process and its commitment to high national standards of public health preparedness. NACCHO extends its congratulations to the following 24 agencies for their exceptional accomplishment:

  • San Juan Basin Public Health, CO
  • El Paso County Public Health, CO

PPHR is a competency-based training and recognition program that assesses preparedness and assists local health departments, or groups of local health departments working collaboratively as a region, to respond to emergencies. It builds preparedness capacity and capability through a continuous quality improvement model. The PPHR criteria are national standards for local public health preparedness and are updated annually to incorporate the most recent federal initiatives. Each of the three PPHR project goals—all-hazards preparedness planning, workforce capacity development, and demonstration of readiness through exercises or real events—has a comprehensive list of standards that must be met in order to achieve PPHR recognition.
