Notice: Temporary Change in Tuberculosis Department Services
Due to ongoing remodeling, the Tuberculosis Department will be temporarily limiting its services and hours of operation.
During this time, we will not be offering:
• TB skin tests (TBST) for school
• Tuberculosis screenings for employment
The department will prioritize our service on those who are on treatment for active and latent tuberculosis, as well as those requiring medical clearance.
If you need a TB skin test or TB clearance, please follow up with your primary care provider (PCP), urgent care, or Agile.
For questions or more information, please contact us at 928-317-4585.
Thank you for your understanding.
