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

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.
