Communicable Disease Control Division

WHO WE ARE: The HCA Public Health Services Communicable Disease Control Division works to prevent and control the spread of infectious diseases in our community. We work with local healthcare providers, government agencies, and community partners to identify outbreaks of disease and develop strategies to limit their further spread. California's legal code also mandates the reporting of certain diseases. For more information, please see the links below.   

WHAT WE DO: Our team monitors disease surveillance data and provides clinical and epidemiological guidance to residents, healthcare 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.  

Together we can prevent and control the spread of communicable diseases.
