2021-2022 Annual Report - NC Local Health Department Accreditation

2021-2022 NCLHD Accreditation Annual Report

Message from the Accreditation Administrator

Amy Belflower Thomas, MHA, MSPH, CPH

The North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation Program focused on relaunching site visits with strategic revisions in 2021-2022. We rolled out a new and improved HDSAI Interpretation with significant content and graphic revisions and we welcomed new site visitors as we prepared to resume site visits in Fall 2022. Looking to the year ahead, we are excited to implement new site visit processes and pilots as we suggest NC Administrative Code-level revisions to accreditation activities. We look forward to finding opportunities to continue strategic projects while continuing to provide consistent, thorough site visits across the state. We are thankful for the grace we have seen extended in all directions as health departments continue responding to COVID and now as we resume site visits.
