Congrats to Dr. Barbara Andrino! She was selected as a 2025 CDC United States (U.S.) TB Elimination Champion. She received this accolade due to her hard work as a dedicated tuberculosis (TB) clinician at that Fairfax Health District. There, she worked for 12 years before retiring in 2024. During her time at Fairfax, she provided tailored care plans to meet her patients’ needs and ensured successful treatment completion. Dr. Andrino helped with contact tracing activity by assessing and treating contacts of patients with TB disease. She prioritized family members at high risk for TB. She was an avid supporter for TB best practices and consistently shared her knowledge with colleagues. Thank you for all of your hard work, Dr. Andrino!
