Advanced Care for Infectious Diseases and HIV/AIDs

From everyday infections to more complex conditions, the infectious disease team at SBH Health System provides the care you need to get back to feeling your best.

Our doctors care for people with a wide range of infections, including HIV, pneumonia, tuberculosis, recurrent MRSA infections and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We also focus on preventing illness through vaccines, travel medicine and services that help reduce your risk of future infections.

We know that dealing with an infection can be stressful and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to listen, answer your questions and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Our infectious disease services
