North Central Public Health District has achieved accredited status for five years by the Public Health Accreditation Board.  That means NCPHD meets or exceeds the rigorous standards established by the non-profit, non-governmental board.  The district is among the first ten local health authorities to be accredited in Oregon.  The national accreditation program works to improve public health by advancing the quality and performance of the nation’s state, local, tribal and territorial health departments.
