Community Health Services

Mission: The Community Health Services Department is a responsive leader in promoting health and preventing disease through collaborative efforts in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating services to meet the holistic health needs of our Oneida Community.

Community Health Services

While healthcare is focused on treating individuals who are sick, Public Health efforts are geared toward preventing illness and injury in an entire population.  Public & Community Health Professionals work to improve communities by helping prevent the spread of disease, promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring a population has access to a clean, safe environment and resources.  The Oneida Nation Community Health Services department is comprised of five dedicated teams that work to assure the 10 essential public health services to the Oneida Nation Community.    Click on the following programs below for more information on the services provided by each team

Public Health Accreditation

Oneida Community Health is in the process of Public Health Reaccreditation!  The Community Health Department received initial public health accreditation in November, 2018 – becoming the second tribal health department to achieve accreditation in the country!  The Community Health Department is proud to be recognized by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) and is working to be reaccredited for 2023-2028. Public health accreditation helps guide public health work to improve the health of the Oneida Community.  The Community Health Department has been working to maintain accreditation for the past five years and will apply for reaccreditation in fall of 2023.  Click here to learn more about what health departments have received PHAB accreditation.

How Accreditation Improves Our Health
Hospitals, schools, police, and fire departments employ standards to help protect and serve the public.  Public health accreditation standards assure local health departments maximize their potential to protect and improve people’s health in their communities. Accreditation is a successful program for routinely assessing performance and improving quality!
