Important Reminder!

Regarding communicable disease reporting and the Universal Reporting Form (URF):
NYCDOHMH disease surveillance is a cornerstone of overall health of all NYC residents. To that end, it is essential that all providers promptly report all communicable diseases and conditions as required by law on the NYCDOHMH Universal Reporting Form (URF). For any questions or to report cases immediately, call the DOH Provider Access Line at 1-866-NYC-DOH1 or, after hours, the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
