On-Site TB Testing and Immunity Titers in Elgin, IL
Elgin has two hospitals, a state mental health center, a community college, and the second-largest school district in Illinois, so it has more institutional employers than most suburbs of its size. We bring TB blood tests and immunity titers to your site, which saves staff from scattered lab appointments.
We come to you
A phlebotomy team draws TB blood tests and titers at your office, clinic, school, or facility. You provide a private room with a door and a table.

Who needs on-site draws in Elgin
Elgin Area School District U-46 serves almost 40,000 school-age children across about 90 square miles of Cook, DuPage, and Kane counties, and it is the city's largest employer in its 2018 plan. Advocate Sherman Hospital and Saint Joseph Hospital are the city's major hospitals, and the Elgin Mental Health Center is another large employer. Elgin Community College serves district 509, and Judson University and National Louis University are also in or near the city.
Planning the event in Elgin
A district that covers about 90 square miles has buildings in different parts of the area, so U-46 requests should list each school or office and the headcount at each. Institutional sites, such as a mental health facility, often have controlled access and security screening, so tell us whether staff can meet us at an entrance, whether we need advance clearance, and how long the process takes. We plan the draw around those rules rather than assuming a standard visitor process.
What this could look like
An Elgin-area school building needs baseline TB tests for newly hired aides and bus staff before the school year, while the district office handles titers for a separate group. The school secretary sends separate rosters and requests two morning windows on different days. This is an illustrative planning example, not a claim about a customer or completed project.
What we draw
A TB blood test (QuantiFERON-TB Gold) and titers (MMR, hepatitis B surface antibody, and varicella). We draw what your requisition orders. Read the full explanation on the TB testing and titers page.
Frequently asked questions
Can you coordinate with a large district's central office?
Yes. A central office can send rosters and requisitions for several buildings, and we review which sites and windows are practical.
What if our building has security screening at the door?
Tell us the process and who will meet us. We plan for the extra time and confirm entry before the date is set.
Can a community college request a draw for faculty and staff?
Yes, a college employer can request one for its own staff with the requisitions and a suitable private room.
Can a hospital's contractors use this service?
A contractor's employer can request a draw for its own workers, as long as the facility approves access and provides a suitable space or the group uses another location.
