The CHCC ELC Program is a cornerstone of Public Health improvement, focused on identifying and addressing infectious diseases.

It plays a key role in safeguarding the health of residents by enhancing the ability to detect, prevent, and respond to disease outbreaks. By leveraging data and laboratory resources, the program ensures swift and accurate interventions.

Strengthens the capacity of state and local health departments through a combination of epidemiological research, advanced laboratory diagnostics, and integrated disease surveillance systems.

This enables a proactive approach to Public Health threats, providing timely information for decision-making and policy development. The result is more effective management of both common and emerging infectious diseases.

A critical aspect of the ELC Program is its ability to rapidly identify and respond to Public Health emergencies.

The ELC, whether it is a localized outbreak or a global pandemic, the program's infrastructure ensures that health professionals have the tools and information needed to act quickly. This capability is essential for preventing widespread transmission and mitigating the impact of health crises.

Collaboration is at the heart of the ELC Program’s success.

Working closely with healthcare providers, laboratories, community organizations, and public health agencies, the program fosters a coordinated approach to disease prevention and response. This cooperative effort ensures that interventions are not only timely but also aligned with the needs of the community, contributing to a healthier, more resilient population.
