Communicable diseases are illnesses that can be passed from one person or animal to another. In Wisconsin, there are many diseases and conditions that must be reported to the Health Department by law, and the Health Department is required to follow up with affected residents. The list of reportable diseases and conditions can be found on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Disease Reporting webpage. The Oak Creek Health Department works with residents, local health care partners, and other public health entities to prevent further spread of these illnesses in the community.
