This year, we are offering the ability to attend our Annual State TB Educational Conference via webinar. While in person attendance is preferred, we understand reasons why this may not be possible, especially for our national partners. Additionally, our Washington Local Health Jurisdiction partners can attend the LHJ TB Business Meeting online. 
 
Links to attend the GoToMeeting will be sent closer to the event. If you do not receive an email with this information by September 29th, please contact: tbservices@doh.wa.gov
