N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Central Valley Health District has announced today that they have achieved a national accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board.

The national program works to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing quality and performance in health departments. Central Valley is the first local public health department in North Dakota to receive national public health accreditation status.

“We are pleased and excited to be the first North Dakota Health department recognized for achieving national standards,” said Unit Administrator Robin Iszler. “The accreditation process helps to ensure that the programs and services we provide are as responsive as possible to the needs of our community.”

To receive accreditation, a health department must undergo a rigorous, multi-faceted, peer-reviewed assessment process to ensure it meets or exceeds a set of quality standards and measures.
