Our accreditation journey was one filled with many challenges, yet completely worthwhile and ultimately successful. It began in 2007 and 2008 with discussions with Missouri’s and North Carolina’s state accreditation systems and continued through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Multi-State Learning Collaborative. In 2009, we began preparation for national accreditation by reviewing both the local and state draft standards from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). We were accepted in late 2009 as 1 of 8 state PHAB beta-test sites. Because of the beta test, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Public Health Improvement Initiative, and continuous efforts toward accreditation, we filed our statement of intent and application to go through the PHAB accreditation process as soon as it became available in September 2011. Following this, we had our site visit in November 2012 and we achieved accreditation in February 2013. The focus of this case report is to provide insights and perspectives from one state that was among the first accredited health departments in the nation.
