WHO IS PHAB? The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is the
national entity that accredits all health departments.
Public health department accreditation is defined as the development of a set of standards, a process to measure health department performance against those standards, and reward or recognition for those health departments who meet the standards.
