We can make history. End TB.

Return to World TB Day

CDC U.S. TB Elimination Champions

There are many individuals and organizations working in effective and engaging ways to end TB in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) U.S. TB Elimination Champions Project provides an opportunity to recognize accomplishments and learn best practices from people who are making a significant contribution to preventing and controlling TB in the United States.

CDC and TB control programs work to end TB in the United States, but clinicians, health care agencies, and community organizations have a critical role to play as well. In keeping with the 2018 U.S. World TB Day theme Wanted: Leaders for a TB-Free United States, we recognize 10 organizations and individuals who are leading the effort to collaborate with public health, health care providers, and community organizations.

We are sharing these inspiring success stories through CDC’s website, Twitter, and Facebook accounts, and hope that they help and inspire others. Congratulations to all of the 2018 U.S. TB Elimination Champions!
