Strengthening organizational capacity to provide essential public health services
In 2019, DPH achieved national accreditation. This represents our commitment to constant
quality improvement and ensures that our programs and services are
responsive to the needs of our community. It also demonstrates our accountability
and credibility to the public, funders, elected officials and partner organizations.
As a public health department, we are also charged with carrying out the 10 Essential Public Health Services.
The metrics below represent just a sample of our efforts to constantly improve how we function as a public health department.
