In light of the recent domestic case of confirmed Ebola in Texas, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) continues to encourage U.S. hospitals and health care providers to prepare for managing patients with Ebola and other infectious diseases. The most recent case in Texas is prompting everyone involved to take a moment to review their plans and protocols.
