North Carolina Institute for Public Health
The NCLHD Accreditation Program is administered by the North Carolina Institute for Public Health (NCIPH), part of the Gillings School of Global Public Health at The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Questions about the NCLHD Accreditation Program can be directed to NCLHDaccreditation@unc.edu and our staff will respond accordingly.
Please note that program staff cannot answer individual health department questions regarding the appropriateness of specific pieces of evidence or whether something will “meet” an Activity requirement. Please check with other area health departments or regional groups for assistance with these issues.
