Public Health Smoke Advisory
Smoke has been drifting into the San Luis Valley from wildfires. If smoke is thick in your neighborhood, you may want to remain indoors and limit outdoor activity. This is especially true for those with heart disease, respiratory illnesses, the very young, and the elderly. If smoke is making you ill indoors, consider relocating temporarily. Smoke is at unhealthy levels when visibility is less than five miles. For questions, please call your County Public Health Agency.

TB TESTING TIME CHANGE Alamosa County Public Health Department has changed the times of tuberculin (Tb) skin testing. Effective February 1, 2013 the new PLACEMENT time will be Tuesday mornings from 8:00 to 11:30. No appointment is necessary. The person must then return to have the test CHECKED on Thursday afternoon between 1:00 and 3:00. Cost for Tb testing is $15.00. We believe this change will improve the quality of Tb testing provided by ACPHD. We hope for a smooth transition to the new time and appreciate your cooperation.
