4 Section 1: Introduction and Project Overview Process and Methodology Overview To learn about how each division operates and serves the community, we interviewed division and program directors from the Houston Health Department (HHD) and the Harris County Health Department (HCPH). [...] The tuberculosis case registry department reports the program’s surveillance data to the State of Texas Department of State Health Services and the Centers for Disease Control. [...] They work with the Refugee Health Screening program, City of Houston Tuberculosis program and most recently they collaborated with the State of Texas Tuberculosis Program to provide video directly observed therapy to one of the regions in the state. [...] The program also reports new cases of infection to the City because the City conducts the investigations and because the City is the regional representative to the state. [...] Educate health care professionals and parents about the hazards of lead poisoning and the methods for reducing the sources of lead (e.g., schools, community health fares).
