Healthcare agencies and facilities in Washington, D.C., are regulated by several authorities, including DC Health, the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), and the Department onDisability Services (DDS). Depending on the provider type, licensing or certification may require applications, background checks, staff qualifications, inspections, and compliance documentation.
