View the latest information related to PACE EH (Updated for 2012)
The Bureau of Environmental Health has adopted the National Association of City and County Health Officials' (NACCHO) Protocol for Assessing Community Excellence in Environmental Health - PACE EH.
For several years, the Bureau of Environmental Health has supported county health departments to work with their communities and address environmental health concerns. Collectively, the county health departments across Florida who have implemented PACE EH in communities have become a national model and provided evidence that communities identify built environment and urban planning issues as environmental health issues.
While some of the projects do not follow the PACE EH methodology exactly, all projects are designed to open the lines of communication between the department's county health departments and their affected communities.
