Tuberculosis Community Outreach Project in Pennsylvania

Immigrants, especially migrant workers, experience some of the highest rates of TB in the US. This project undertook this targeted health education initiative to reduce TB disease among recently arrived Cuban immigrants in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We sought volunteers from this community with previous health training (clinicians, nurses, and allied health professionals) to become Community TB Outreach Volunteers to inform the community about TB risk, services available, and treatment opportunities.
