Communicable Disease Safety
Building a strong and healthy community.
At Health Services, our communicable disease program keeps close watch on new and existing diseases, investigates diseases and conditions that can be reported, responds to outbreaks in the community to keep everyone healthy, and works to stop the spread of diseases in order to protect and promote the health and well-being of county residents. We work in close collaboration with Health Officer Dr. Adam Brady (Linn County Public Health).
How to Report a Disease or Condition
All Oregon physicians, other health care providers, and laboratorians are required by law to report certain diseases and conditions to the patient’s local health department. (Note, some cases are subject to restrictions per OAR Division 19 on school attendance, day care attendance, patient care, and food handling.)
To report, call (541) 967-3888 x2488, Monday thru Friday from 8:30am–5pm.
