The Minneapolis Health Department is honored to announce that it has been reaccredited through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB).
Maintaining the accreditation status for another five years demonstrates the Health Department's commitment to meeting PHAB’s national standards. This recognition affirms dedication to improving and advancing the health of the Minneapolis community.
Serving the Community
Every Minneapolis community member deserves the support of a strong public health department, and since first being accredited in 2016, the City is proud to uphold the national standards of excellence as a fully accredited health department. Accreditation reinforces credibility and commitment to the community — elected officials, partner organizations, community members and residents.
The Health Department is dedicated to aligning operations with nationally recognized and evidence-based standards, leading to better health outcomes for the community. The team thanks the Public Health Accreditation Board for reaffirming the high standard of service it delivers to the Minneapolis community.
About Accreditation
Public health accreditation through PHAB measures a health department performance against a set of nationally recognized, practice-focused, and evidence-based standards:
- PHAB’s accreditation framework is aligned with the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) framework, with equity at the center.
- Accredited departments actively promote policies, systems, and overall community conditions that foster optimal health for all.
- PHAB-accredited health departments demonstrate leadership by subjecting their work to peer review and using feedback to enhance community services.
