OCPHS’s reaccreditation represents the department’s efforts toward overall public health and a thorough review of the agency's operations, policies, and practices. Throughout the assessment process, OCPHS demonstrated a commitment to meeting and exceeding national standards and best practices, confirming its role as a leading public health provider in the region.  

By achieving reaccreditation status, Olmsted County Public Health Services demonstrates its capacity to:  

  • Address public health challenges proactively and effectively.  
  • Engage and collaborate with community partners to identify and address health disparities.  
  • Use a data-driven approach to assess community health needs and design targeted interventions.  
  • Maintain a competent and highly skilled workforce committed to public health excellence.  
  • Deliver comprehensive public health programs and services that adhere to best practices.  
  • Continuously improve processes and outcomes to enhance the health of the community.  

"The reaccreditation by PHAB is a significant achievement for OCPHS and a testament to the effectiveness and dedication of our talented team," said Olmsted County Board of Commissioners Chair Gregg Wright. "Our employees are committed to promoting and protecting the health of our community. This national reaccreditation reaffirms that Olmsted County is achieving our mission to provide the foundation of a vibrant community."
