If you are a patient at one of our clinics, we may call to remind you of an upcoming appointment or to discuss lab results or other issues related to your visit. If you are not a current patient, our Epidemiology unit may be attempting to reach you. When the Epidemiology unit receives a notifiable disease report, our staff may reach out to the patient and/or their provider to ask follow-up questions to assist the patient in receiving appropriate care and prevent further spread of illness. For more information about why our Epidemiology team might be calling and how to verify that the person calling is a DPH employee, please visit the FAQ section of our Epidemiology/Infectious Disease page.
