Tuberculosis
The Health Department helps citizens receive testing for tuberculosis (TB). If a test is positive, the Health Department helps that person and all of their contacts, receive treatment and further testing. Children entering school for the first time may require a TB Test if they have recently immigrated from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, or countries with endemic tuberculosis.
TB Testing is available by appointment at the health department’s two Public Health Clinics:
- 805 Newtown Circle (288-2483)
- 2433 Regency Road (899-5201).
Patients can also receive a TB Test during clinic walk-in times* at both locations:
- 9:30-11 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Friday
- 1-3 p.m. Wednesday
- 9:30-11 a.m. Thursday (Readings Only)
TB Tests at the Public Health Clinics cost $10, and Medicaid, Medicare B, cash, checks and credit cards are accepted.
*Walk-in patients are seen around other patients with scheduled appointments. There could be a wait time of one hour or more.
