Care for Infections
Infectious diseases can affect anyone, anywhere. They are illnesses caused by germs: bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. They can spread from person to person. Some are mild, and some can be very serious.
Getting care quickly helps you get well. It also helps stop the illness from spreading to others. Our caring team is here to help you get healthy again.
We care for all patients, with or without insurance.
Infectious vs. Noninfectious Diseases
-
Infectious Diseases
Caused by germs. They can spread by touch, by food or water, through the air, or by bug bites. Examples are the flu, tuberculosis (TB) and STDs.
-
Noninfectious Diseases
Not caused by germs. They often come from family history, your surroundings or daily habits. Examples are diabetes, asthma and heart disease.
Infectious diseases often need fast care to prevent outbreaks and other problems.

How We Find and Treat Infections
Finding the right cause is the first step. We use blood tests, imaging (like X-rays) and lab cultures to find the germ that is making you sick.
Then we make a treatment plan just for you. It may include:
- Antibiotics or antivirals
- Medicine for infections caused by fungi or parasites
- Care to help you feel better, like pain and fever relief
We make sure you understand your diagnosis and your plan every step of the way.
STD Testing, Treatment and Vaccines
Anyone who has oral, anal or vaginal sex, or genital skin-to-skin contact, can get an STD. Most people who have sex will get an STD at some point.
Many STDs have no clear signs. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Testing is usually quick, simple and painless. Most STDs can be cured or managed with the right medicine.
