Though Health Services provides TB skin testing for new staff/faculty, blood pressure readings and the use of the weight scale is offered as a courtesy only. 

Can I call in for my test results? 

-Due to confidentiality laws, no test results of any kind can be given over the phone. Walk-ins to see the nurses will be necessary for reviewing the results.
