11, 2014, a PHAB mock site visit was conducted and overall the site reviewers were positive about the
evidence submitted.
By June 30, 2014, establish a baseline of how many strategically aligned continuous education
offerings there are available to LCHD/CHC partners. By December 31, 2016, increase the amount of
offerings by 20%, from the established baseline.
Progress: 2014 Goal Met
Continuous improvement is not only a matter of evaluating
our processes, but also ensuring the on-going development
and continued education of our staff. This allows for the
maintaining of licenses and credentials as well as staying on
top of emerging issues in public health. In 2014 we
evaluated our in-house offerings for continued education
and determined a baseline of 30 activities. By December 31, 2016 we will increase this number by 20%.
Goal: Strengthen the Public Health System Workforce and Future Workforce
Pipeline to Improve the Public’s Health
By December 31, 2014, establish a baseline of activities and promotion events with schools and
partners to promote public health career choices. By December 31, 2015, increase the number of
activities and promotions by 3% from the established baseline.
Progress: 2014 Goal Met
The need for a diverse and high performing public health
workforce continues to grow. To help ensure an on-going
pipeline of professionals for years to come as well as overall
promotion of the public health field, the Health Department
is actively engaged in partnerships and promotional activities
with school-aged children. These include activities such as
participating in career days, talking to classes, being
interviewed by students, and work experience programs. In
2014, we completed five of these activities, and plan to
continue growing these activities throughout 2015.
