This page serves as a centralized location for healthcare providers to get updates, guidance and required forms on diseases and health conditions in Ventura County. Providers must report all reportable suspected and confirmed communicable diseases or other unusual conditions to Ventura County Public Health’s Communicable Disease office by filing out a Confidential Morbidity Report (CMR). Please see below under Communicable Disease Reporting Forms for the appropriate CMR form.
