Disease Epidemiology Program:
This program monitors infections and communicable diseases among Soldiers and retirees, their families and/or Army civilians, analyzing what causes them and finding ways to reduce how often they occur. By analyzing and reporting the information that individual facilities enter into a medical surveillance system, program epidemiologists can spot emerging epidemics, spikes in medical conditions that may need medical intervention, and longer-term disease trends. This surveillance helps medical providers begin to take action to stop the spread of disease, prioritize resources to address diseases that are most dangerous or costly, and identify health issues specific to their communities.
