Whether it’s a business trip or a family vacation, international travel can be exciting. But it can also expose you to health risks if you aren’t prepared.

One of the best ways to minimize your risks is to visit a travel medicine clinic in advance of your trip.

At Sutter’s travel clinics, travel medicine specialists treat adults and children and provide services including:

• Vaccinations and certificates for countries that require them.
• Prescriptions for medications recommended for specific destinations.
• Counseling on health and safety concerns associated with the country you will be visiting, including food and water precautions.
• Medical advice and up-to-date health information about the country you will be visiting, including notification of epidemics and environmental risks.
• Recommendations on what health-related items to pack.

We also offer post-trip services including exposure counseling, referrals to infectious disease specialists and post-travel medical evaluations.
