- Diagnose and treat individuals who either have tuberculosis or are suspected of having the disease
- Provide case management to people diagnosed with tuberculosis
- Educate clients, family members and groups about tuberculosis
- Treat clients who are newly infected with the bacteria that cause tuberculosis so they do not get sick with the disease
- Conduct contact investigations to assure that people who have been exposed to tuberculosis are offered screening as appropriate
