Tuberculosis (TB)
TB skin tests are offered at both Mishawaka and South Bend locations. You must be able to return at the designated time and location after the placement of the test. Failure to do so will end in an invalid test. Repeat placement of the test is optional with additional payment required.
Treatment for latent TB and active TB disease is available at no charge with a referral from a health care provider. A reporting form and documentation are required. Case management is provided by a Public Health Nurse.
Health Care Providers may print reporting forms from the links below. Completed reports may be faxed to our secure fax number at: (574) 245-6581.
