A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Miami, FL for a day of filming at the Miami-Dade County Department of Health. The goal of the shoot was to find out how the health department was approaching public health accreditation in general, as well as how they were getting buy-in from the staff. This was part of multiple shoots done at four different health departments across the country, focusing on a few main aspects of what it takes to become involved in public health accreditation.

The Public Health Accreditation Board worked with these and many other health departments around the country as they beta tested what would become the first national accreditation program for all public health departments. On October 16th, 2011 PHAB had a launch event for the program.

The initial result of our video shoots were on display at the event in the teaser video you see below. Soon longer videos on each program will also be coming out.
