The Hancock County Commissioners got an update on Hancock Public Health’s efforts to get accreditation. Health Commissioner Karim Baroudi explained that they need some upgrades to their facility to get the accreditation.

Baroudi explained that these are minor things like bathroom signs and parking spots. Baroudi said that the state will require health districts to be accredited by 2020. He adds that they are well on their way.

Baroudi said that they are also going to continue searching for a new location so that Hancock Public Health can continue to grow and expand services.
