The California Department of Health Services (CDHS) has restructured, with the Licensing and Certification Program (L&C) becoming part of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Center for Healthcare Quality (CHQ) as of July 1, 2007. This change aims to provide more focused leadership in public health and healthcare financing, streamline management, create a more effective public health infrastructure, and increase accountability and responsiveness. There will be no changes in the services provided by L&C, but facilities should be aware of changes related to street addresses, email addresses, and websites. The new website for the Department of Public Health is www.cdph.ca.gov, with links to the Licensing and Certification Program. Email addresses for staff have changed to the format John.Smith@cdph.ca.gov. Day-to-day operations for the Licensing and Certification Program will continue under the new California Department of Public Health, with post office boxes and mail stop codes remaining the same.
