BACKGROUND
Background
North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation Benchmark 37 reads: “The local board of health shall assure the development, implementation and evaluation of the local health services and programs to protect and promote the public’s health.”
Within Benchmark 37 is activity 37.2 which reads; “The local board of health shall approve policies for the administration of local public health programs.”
Program Directors are required to review the assigned agency guidelines on an annual basis and make the necessary changes and modifications as needed. The review of all agency guidelines occurred in March and April of 2018. The agency’s guidelines and any changes or modifications that were made have been reviewed by Dr. Jean Douglas, Chair of the Health and Human Services Advisory Committee. The division is seeking approval by the Board of Commissioners, acting as the Guilford County Board of Health, of the agency’s guidelines upon the recommendation of the Health and Human Services Advisory Committee.
