Welcome to the website of the National Tuberculosis Controllers Association (NTCA) and its associated organization, the National Tuberculosis Nurse Coalition (NTNC).The NTCA and the NTNC were created in 1995 to bring together the leaders of tuberculosis control programs in all states and territories, as well as many counties and city health departments that organize their own TB control activities. While our home office is in Atlanta, our members work in all parts of the United States. NTCA membership includes physicians, nurses, public health officials, as well as representatives of organizations serving disproportionately affected populations (e.g., refugee health and minority health officials).

The NTCA and the NTNC are 501c3, not-for-profit organizations that are supported in part by the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with whom we work closely. We also collaborate with other government, non-government, and private groups united in the task of working to control and eventually eliminate tuberculosis as a public health problem in this country.
