<Title>TB Screening Clinic Extended &#8212; Walk In Through September 24!</Title>
<Tagline>QuantiFERON Clinic</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Dear UMBC Community,</p>
    <p>Retriever Integrated Health is pleased to announce that the QuantiFERON (TB blood test) Clinic in partnership with Quest Diagnostics has been extended through Thursday, September 24. This extension gives more time for students, faculty, and staff to complete their TB screening right here on campus.</p>
    <p>Extended Clinic Details</p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>New Dates: Now through September 24</p></li>
    <li><p>Hours: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM</p></li>
    <li><p>Location: Center for Well-Being</p></li>
    <li><p>No Appointment Needed – Just Walk In!</p></li>
    </ul>
    <p>Why TB Screening Matters?<br>Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs and spread through the air. Many academic programs, clinical placements, internships, and employment opportunities require TB screening as part of their health clearance. Getting tested on campus ensures you meet these requirements conveniently and on time.</p>
    <p>Who Should Attend?</p>
    <ul>
    <li><p>Students with TB screening requirements for classes, programs, or internships</p></li>
    <li><p>Faculty and staff needing a TB test for employment or professional purposes</p></li>
    <li><p>Anyone interested in confirming their TB status for personal health</p></li>
    </ul>
    <p>What to Expect?<br>The clinic uses the reliable QuantiFERON blood test, conducted by Quest Diagnostics. No appointments are necessary during the extended period, just walk in between 9 AM and 4 PM. Please bring your campus ID and insurance card if available.</p>
    <p>Take this opportunity to prioritize your health and help protect the UMBC community.</p>
    <p>Questions?<br>Contact Retriever Integrated Health at 410-455-2542 or visit <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/health/posts/152642/7464c/387a5baa0f0af97f1f71a1b5ea39c163/email/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fhealth.umbc.edu%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">health.umbc.edu</a></p>
