Tuberculosis Services
The TB program provides assessment for active
(contagious) TB disease as well as latent (non-contagious) infection. Other
services include case management, contact investigation, community outreach, and
education.
Staff provide tuberculosis skin testing to high-risk
populations. Clients who meet the priorities for services and who have a
positive tuberculosis skin test are provided with education
(language-appropriate), medical evaluation and medication management. The TB
department staff are also available for consultation with outside agencies and
do respond to questions from our community.
Residents who have a personal physician and/or healthcare
provider are encouraged to follow-up with their provider.
Fees for services do apply. No one is turned away because of
inability to pay.
