Dear Public Health Accreditation Board:
The Board of County Commissioners is the governing body for Deschutes County. We
enthusiastically support the participation of Deschutes County Health Services in the
accreditation beta testing process.
Our board is dedicated to evaluating local processes in order to establish standards of excellence.
We recognize the value of an accreditation process that will promote high performance and
continuous quality improvement within our public health division. Being a part of the beta
testing process will give our Health Services Department the opportunity to play a critical role in
shaping and defining the accreditation process, and will advance the department’s preparation
activities for the national launch in 2011.
Deschutes County’s Mission:
Enhancing the lives of our citizens by delivering quality services in a cost-effective manner.
We hope you will consider Deschutes County Health Services a valuable member of your beta
testing team.
Sincerely,
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
Tammy Baney, Chair
Dennis R. Luke, Vice Chair
