The new laboratory and research facility will provide the needed space to accommodate the growing needs of the Health and Human Services DepartmentDallas County officials are moving forward on a new state-of-the-art laboratory that they say will help the health department be more prepared for the next health emergency.
This will be the main location for the Dallas County Health and Human Services Public Health Laboratory, which is in charge of the testing, tracking and studying of all things infectious and contagious. As the Texas population increases so does the demand for testing capabilities. The facility will focus on surveillance and diagnostic testing for communicable diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis C, and TB, as well as mosquito-borne illnesses . It will also have the capacity to test for Zika, Ebola, COVID-19, and Influenza, among others.
