Tuberculosis Program - Niagara County Department of Health | Trott Access Center, 3rd Fl

Provides early detection, targeted testing, and preventive treatment of Latent TB Infection (LTBI). Patients diagnosed with active TB who are treated with multiple drug therapy are monitored through the Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) program. A public health nurse visits the patient five days per week to ensure that medications are taken as prescribed. Through immediate evaluation and treatment of suspected TB cases, the Department of Health is able to decrease transmission to others and prevent mass outbreaks of the disease. Evaluation and follow-up of individuals with LTBI and testing of contacts are held one day per month in the first floor clinic area of the Trott Access Center. Program works to make the community aware of the signs and symptoms of tuberculosis by providing information through media outlets, offering educational in-services to local health care facilities, and by assisting medical providers with guidelines for TB treatment and testing. HOURS: Clinic: By appointment only. Office: Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm.
