Communicable Disease

- Investigate notifiable conditions reported by health professionals and provide education on how to prevent future infections.
- Conduct surveillance for notifiable conditions.
- Serve as a resource to our health care providers, care centers, and school districts.
- Educate the public, policy makers and community groups.
- Cultivate partnerships with local and state authorities to effectively control the spread of diseases.
