Travel Medicine Program

At least half of travelers to low- and middle-income countries become ill with a travel-related health problem, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A travel health consultation can help you learn about the risk of travel-related diseases and the steps that can be taken to prevent illness. Depending upon the destination, preventive malaria treatment and other immunizations may be required to protect from local infectious disease. Counseling on pathogens and altitude-related sicknesses may also help prevent travel health issues.
