AB  - The Florida Department of Health (Department) received accreditation status as an 
      integrated public health system from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) 
      in 2 phases: the State Health Office received accreditation in June 2014 and the 
      67 county health departments received accreditation in March 2016. Six weeks 
      after PHAB awarded accreditation to the Department as an integrated public health 
      system in March 2016, the World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak in 
      the Americas a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Even in that 
      short time, integrated public health accreditation, along with the other 
      components of the Department's performance management system, allowed the 
      Department to address this public health emergency, especially in Miami-Dade 
      County, where the impact of Zika was significant. This case report describes the 
      local response in Miami-Dade County and supporting statewide efforts. Public 
      health departments should consider how public health accreditation could 
      strengthen their ability to fulfill their public health mission. This article 
      provides rationale for state and local health departments to seek accreditation.
