Communicable Diseases

Communicable Diseases are a growing concern in the Health Care world.  Some of the reasons for the increases that we are seeing are a lack of immunizations, increased international travel, antibiotic resistant organisms, unsafe sexual behavior, just to name
a few.

A Public Health Nurse tracks the occurrence, spread and treatment of these diseases in a community.  They are also available for education, consultation and referral if necessary.  They perform TB skin tests and immunizations at the office.
