Public health officials help protect the public’s health by tracking communicable diseases and other conditions using notifiable condition reporting. Data in these reports are collected by Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD), other local health departments, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from mandatory communicable disease reporting by health care providers, laboratories, health care facilities, and veterinarians, per Washington Administrative Code, chapters 246-100 and 246-101.
