LCHD maintains national accreditation

The Lincoln County Health Department (LCHD) has maintained its national accreditation status through the Public Health Accreditation Board for another five years.
The accreditation demonstrates that LCHD meets quality standards and continues improving health services for Lincoln County residents. The department first achieved accreditation in September 2017.
“We are pleased to again be recognized by PHAB for achieving national standards that foster effectiveness and promote continuous quality improvement,” said Shelley Cohrs, Director/Health Officer for Lincoln County.
The Public Health Accreditation Board sets standards for governmental public health departments to continuously improve their services. The program receives support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“This demonstrates that accreditation is not just a one-time achievement but an ongoing commitment to excellence,” said PHAB President and CEO Dr. Joneigh Khaldun.
