Infectious Disease & Travel Medicine
Safeguarding our community & global travelers.
Offering comprehensive care for infectious diseases.
Most of our care is provided for patients who are hospitalized, but we also have a robust and flexible outpatient practice that provides care in a large number of office sites throughout the region. The division assists in the management of complex infections including, but not limited to HIV, bone/joint infections, heart infections, blood stream infections, skin and soft tissue infection, lung infections, brain infections, abdominal infections, urinary infections, tick-borne diseases, and travel related infections. While we do not provide acute care in the ambulatory setting, we aid our acute care colleagues in providing verbal/written guidance to assist in patient care in this situation.

Free and confidential STD testing
STDs are very common, and many do not cause any noticeable symptoms. The only way to know for sure if you or your partner has an STD is to get tested. Early detection leads to better outcomes. If left untreated, STDs can have serious long-term health consequences and can increase your chances of getting HIV. Know your status and get tested today!

What is PrEP?
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a medicine that greatly reduces your chance of getting HIV through sex or injection drug use. It is as simple as one pill a day, one injection every two months, or one injection every 6 months. Talk to one of our trusted providers about what option is best for you!
