Clinic Location in the Community for Treatment of Infectious Diseases
You can do a lot to keep yourself healthy and protected from infectious diseases. Avoiding germs, eating a balanced diet, getting enough rest and getting vaccinations are a few of the ways to protect yourself. However, if you contract an infectious disease, it's important to seek care from your provider.
Infectious diseases can often be treated at your primary care clinic by your primary care or internal medicine provider. We also offer infectious disease specialists at several locations.
