Communicable Disease Control Division

The HCA Public Health Services Communicable Disease Control Division is committed to preventing and controlling the spread of infectious disease in our community. We work collaboratively with local healthcare providers, government agencies, and community partners to identify outbreaks of disease and develop strategies to limit their further spread. Our team monitors disease surveillance data to track trends over time and to define emerging concerns and vulnerable populations. We provide clinical and epidemiological guidance to residents, providers, and the broader community. In addition, we may also assist with diagnosis, treatment, and preventative services such as vaccination and prophylactic treatment when needed. 

The Communicable Disease Control Division is dedicated to protecting the health and wellbeing of our community. Together we can prevent and control the spread of communicable diseases.
