Building on the work of the Institute of Medicine and the National Association of County Health Officials, the Michigan Departments of Agriculture, Community Health and Environmental Quality and other state agencies developed and are committed to implementing the Michigan Local Public Health Accreditation Program. The process builds on many of the principles outlined in The Future of Public Health and The National Association of County Health Officials' 1991 Assessment Protocol for Excellence in Public Health (APEXPH), and aims to institute a baseline standard for the attributes and services that define a local health department. The Michigan Local Public Health Accreditation Program seeks to assure and enhance the quality of local public health in Michigan by identifying and promoting the implementation of public health standards for local public health departments, and evaluating and accrediting local health departments on their ability to meet these standards.
The program is a collaborative effort between the Michigan Public Health Institute, the Michigan Departments of Agriculture, Community Health and Environmental Quality, the Michigan Association for Local Public Health and Michigan's local public health departments. The Michigan Department of Community Health provides oversight and funding for the Michigan Local Public Health Accreditation Program.
