Communicable Disease Prevention & Management

The goal of Communicable Disease Prevention and Management is to prevent and decrease the spread of infectious diseases. A team of Medical Officers of Health, Communicable Disease Coordinators, Public Health Nurses, Public Health Inspectors and Epidemiologists work together to track, prevent and manage communicable diseases.  We provide education and advice to individuals, families and groups on how to limit the spread of diseases.
