Public health departments play an extremely important role in improving and protecting the health of individuals and communities. Achieving accreditation helps ensure that we can deliver essential public health services to the public, such as preventing disease, ensuring access to safe food and water, immunizations, and preparing for and responding to health emergencies.
The Williamson County and Cities Health District was one of the first public health departments in Texasto be awarded accreditation status by the Public Health Accreditation Board.
To achieve accreditation, WCCHD underwent a rigorous, multi-faceted, peer-reviewed assessment process to make sure it met or exceeded a specific set of quality standards and measures.
History
Our agency was known as the Williamson County Health Department until 1989 when it was organized as a health district, a separate governmental entity under Texas law. The Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) was established via a cooperative agreement between the governing bodies of the cities of Cedar Park, Georgetown, Round Rock, and Taylor and the Williamson County Commissioners Court. The cooperative agreement was updated in 1992 and in 2007 at which time the cities of Liberty Hill and Hutto joined the Health District, and again in 2013 when Leander also joined the Health District.
