CDPH/CTCA Joint Guidelines
Due to limited staff resources, CTCA can no longer provide Guidelines Binders. We encourage you to create your own binder by printing the guidelines that appear below.
These guidelines are generally provided in .pdf format. If you prefer to receive the guidelines in Word format, please contact us with your request, detailing which guidelines you require and the date by which you need them.
If you modify these guidelines for local use, they will no longer be considered CTCA-approved and the CTCA logo must be removed.
*Please note that not all of the guidelines listed here are joint CDPH/CTCA guidelines
