Tuberculosis Program
Breathe California began as the Tuberculosis Society 95 years ago and we continue to fight TB in the community today. California has the highest number of TB cases, making it an important area of lung health for us to continue to address. As part of the Tuberculosis Prevention Partnership (TPP) we work to identify strategic issues impacting TB at the local level and develop strategies to prevent TB in Santa Clara County.
Our efforts include:
- Community presentations to encourage testing and prevention
- Partnerships with health facilities, schools, businesses and other agencies to implement plans to prevent the spread of TB
- Annual World TB day activities to increase awareness
- TB Advocacy - Help fight for TB
