{"value"=>"<p>The Tuberculosis Education and Treatment Support Program was developed in 1993 in response to the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) in New York City. The program provided information about TB to clients, ongoing training about TB in social service settings and in the workplace, and sought to reduce the transmission of TB at GMHC facilities. Within the first year of the program HEPA filters were installed throughout the agency, tissues and face masks were made available on-site, TB posters and \"cover your mouth\" signs were posted in all reception areas, numerous on-site screenings for staff and clients were conducted, and a requirement was implemented for all new clients to provide documentation of their TB status.</p>"}
