Reaccreditation
Once accredited, a public health department remains accredited for five years. In order to maintain national accreditation, the health department must apply for and achieve reaccreditation. The requirements and process to become reaccredited are different from those for initial accreditation. Below are some resources to help you understand what is involved in reaccreditation.
