To report a communicable disease, please call: 541-266-6700

If you have vomiting, upset stomach or diarrhea and think you got sick from eating food that came from a food service inspected by CCPH, call 541-266-6720 or email to EH@chw.coos.or.us and report the following:

  • Your name and contact information
  • Name of person sick and their contact information (if you are reporting for a friend or family member)
  • The symptoms you are experiencing (what they’re like, when they started, how long they lasted)
  • What you have eaten that may have caused the illness
  • Where did you get the food that you believe made you sick (restaurant name & location)

Reporting illnesses will help us find and correct problems in food preparation and this can protect other people from getting sick.
