The New Public Health 
Congratulations to the PHAB Beta Sites! 

Thirty local and state health departments recently were awarded the honor to work as beta test sites to 'try-out' the new Public Health Accreditation Board's standards. Accreditation of public health is long over-due and we applaud the many innovators and leaders who have taken on this magnificent challenge!
