The Public Health Service Achievement Medal is a decoration of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. It is issued to those personnel who display meritorious achievement and excellence in accomplishing the mission of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Activities warranting the award of the Public Health Service Achievement Medal could include advancement of program objectives, sustained above-average dedication to duty over a relatively short period of time, or a single act of distinction to the betterment of the United States of America in the area of public health.
The Public Health Service Achievement Medal is considered a civilian decoration; however, it is occasionally awarded to members of the United States military. In such cases, the Public Health Service Achievement Medal may be worn on active duty uniforms upon application from the service member.
