BREATHE LA Tuberculosis Program

BREATHE LA Tuberculosis (TB) Program built upon our tradition of leadership in the fight against Tuberculosis. BREATHE LA continues to support the Los Angeles Tuberculosis Coalition and TB Planning Council  of Los Angeles County for outreach and increased awareness of Tuberculosis in L.A. County.

BREATHE LA TB Program was instrumental in planning World TB Day March 2008. World TB Day is an internationally recognized day designed to promote awareness of TB throughout the world. BREATHE LA TB Program, in collaboration with the TB Coalition presented a well-attended World TB Day forum in March 2008.

BREATHE LA TB Program outreached to community groups to strengthen and increase membership in the L.A. County TB Coalition. The T.B. Coalition debuted the Coalition E-Newsletter "T.B. L.A.", sporting a new logo designed by logo competition winner, Brenda Aguilera. The newsletter was created as a combined effort of BREATHE LA and the TB Coalition, and features informative and timely articles on TB with updates on events and activities of the TB Coalition.

Additionally, BREATHE LA TB Program provided support and guidance to the TB Planning Council and its steering committee.
