Accreditation

The Healthy Families New York State-Wide system will be evaluated for accreditation in 2024, with the first Central Administration site visit being in February, 2024. We have begun sharing information, resources, and expectations with programs via monthly Zoom sessions we are calling Accreditation 101 as the time approaches.

The next steps were for sites to be selected for on-site visits. These sites have been notified and are preparing for the visits. There will continue to be webinars until all site visits are completed.
