Dear UMBC Community,

Retriever Integrated Health is hosting a  Quantiferon (TB blood test) Clinic in partnership with Quest Diagnostics. This clinic is designed to make it easy for students, faculty, and staff who need TB screening to get it done on campus.

Clinic Details

Why TB Screening Matters
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.

Who Should Attend
Students who have a TB screening requirement for classes, programs, or internships
Faculty and staff who need a current TB test for employment or professional obligations
Anyone interested in confirming their TB status for personal health reasons

What to Expect
The TB clinic will use a simple, reliable screening process conducted by Quest Diagnostics. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome during clinic hours. Please bring campus ID and your insurance card, if available.
By participating, you're taking an important step in maintaining your health and protecting the UMBC community.
For questions or more information, contact Retriever Integrated Health (410-455-2542) or visit our website - https://health.umbc.edu/ .

More about Culture Building at UMBC

Culture building is the intentional process of developing and nurturing a set of shared values, beliefs, and practices within an organization or community. Culture builders are actors who intentionally seek to foster a positive and productive environment.

Especially during times of deep societal polarization and loss of shared humanity, an inclusive and equitable culture benefits and requires everyone; we all have a role to play in building the culture we want to see.

The Culture Builders series will host a keynote and set of community conversations each semester focused on connecting community and culture across difference. The series is designed to engage topics and ideas grounded in shared community values, beliefs, and practices that pull us closer to a more loving and just campus. Join us for engaging lectures and community dialogues.

Collaboratively Presented by the Fall 2025 Culture Builders Cohort
