What is an Epidemiology Team?

The EPI Team is a proven method of conducting outbreak investigations regardless of whether they are foodborne, environmental or substance in nature. Investigation of a locally reported illness may actual lead to regional, statewide or national involvement.

Our EPI Team consists of District members who are best skilled in working together toward problem solving. The efforts of a EPI Team lead to good decision-making which determine which actions provide the best control measures. Out team meets every month to analyze and discuss current activities, review past investigations and prepare for future activities.
