Tuberculosis
Information and Treatment 
Chest Clinics treat
both patients with active tuberculosis and their close contacts.
They also provide HIV/AIDS counseling and testing for TB clients
The City Department of Health operates 10 Chest Clinics to test
for and treat tuberculosis, a contagious and potentially deadly
respiratory disease. Call ahead before you visit a Chest Clinic
-- some welcome walk-in clients, but others require that you make
an appointment. Chest Clinics treat both patients with active
TB and their close contacts. They also provide HIV/AIDS counseling
and testing for TB clients. All consultations are free and confidential.
