    Alex’s Story

    For Alex’s parents, rural Ohio seemed like the perfect location to raise a family. In its rolling hills and vast farmland laid the safety and security of a small town setting. The schools were filled with neighbors’ children and residents did not think twice about leaving the doors to their homes unlocked. That is, until their teenage son became an opiate addict.

    Investments in Preparedness Help Mitigate Sheboygan, WI Tuberculosis Outbreak

    What happens when a scenic tourist destination faces a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak? Sheboygan, WI found out in the spring of 2013 when a case of TB arose in a family in this city of nearly 50,000 on the shores of Lake Michigan. Although Sheboygan County averages three active cases of TB per year, it became clear as this year’s outbreak unfolded that this would not be an average year for Sheboygan.
