TBCF Participant Invitation 10.23

Subject: CDC’s New TB Care Finder is ready for you to upload your information

Dear TB Program Partner,

CDC’s web portal TB Care Finder (https://tbcarefinder.cdc.gov) is now live!

The goal of TB Care Finder is to assist in-bound US immigrants who have admissible tuberculosis classifications (e.g. B1, B2) to find the correct TB program or provider for the recommended follow-up evaluation at their destination location.

We need your help, as a TB Care Finder partner, in providing up-to-date information for your jurisdiction, which can include clinic locations and hours, how to make an appointment, or other customized resources for site users.

Attached to this email is a TB Care Finder job aid. This will help guide you on how to set up an account and upload your information.

We are hoping to have TB programs upload their information by (pending approval date). If you have any questions about TB Care Finder or the process to add your information, please email: Dr. Omar Duran Pena, [email protected] and cc: [email protected]

Finally, please join the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA) Community of Practice call on [insert date]. During that call the CDC’s TB Care Finder team will present an update on TB Care Finder and answer your questions. Members will receive an invitation and further details from NTCA soon.

We hope TB Care Finder will improve efforts to connect with and educate entrants with a TB classification arriving to US jurisdictions and look forward to your partnership in this innovation. We will continue to keep you apprised as we move forward and welcome any questions or feedback.

Thank you,

TB Care Finder Team
