CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — New year, new changes for the Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District.
Starting Monday, Jan. 13, the Health District is eliminating some tuberculosis screenings.
The screenings are still available to high-risk individuals. The cuts will come for those who are not showing symptoms or for people who need a tuberculosis test for employment or admission to school or foster care.
The Health District is shifting its efforts primarily to patients with active tuberculosis.
Low-risk individuals who need occupational screenings can receive them at "Any Lab Test Now" facility, The Doctor's Center, and the A&M Corpus Christi Student Health Center.
