Introduction: CDC reports of the H5N1 cases over the years have been largely isolated in 5 states: California, Washington, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming. In counties across California, cases of avian influenza have been reported, requiring a specialized response plan. The network of Cali Hope Urgent Care Clinic was chosen because of its patient reach and proximity to the epicenter. As an urgent care clinic, it is the best fit to detect and treat cases of avian influenza in humans as and when they arise and help the population in need.
This disaster plan evaluates the risks faced by the Cali Hope Urgent Care Clinic in being adjacent to an epicenter for Bird Flu.
