The Preventing Infectious Diseases Program focuses on interventions, policies, and teachings that promote healthy lifestyles and equip individuals and communities with the abilities and resources to make healthy choices. This program recognizes that the infectious diseases in our communities are a symptom of social conditions among which include inadequate housing. Our approach to infectious disease management recognizes and addresses these conditions and is not just focused on diagnosis and treatment.
