Army Public Health Accreditation
The military interest in PHAB accreditation began in 2012 as an exploratory performance improvement/accreditation initiative of the (former) U.S Army Public Health Command based at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. In 2018, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Health, U.S. Army Medical Command, with the support of the Army Public Health Center (APHC), now Defense Centers for Public Health – Aberdeen, launched the initiative across 28 installation Departments of Public Health.
