STD
Program
The Yakima Health District
contracts with a regional
Washington state employee,
Alex Popov, for its STD services.
We do not have an STD clinic,
nor do we directly refer patients
to providers, but we can provide
partner notification and information
about community resources
in the Yakima Valley. Please
contact Alex at 509.249.6531 for
these services.
For
testing information, please
follow our Testing
Resources link above.
The
main role of our the State's
Regional STD program in Yakima
is to facilitate accurate
reporting of STDs. Alex works
closely with providers to
ensure that they have the
information and forms necessary
to report accurately.
