Employees are required to schedule TB test at YKHC annually during birth month

It is the expectation of YKHC and a requirement of OSHA that you report to Employee Health or your village clinic or SRC annually on your birth month to get your Q-Gold test. Village employees should contact their clinic or SRC to arrange a test.

Please review the full policy at https://ykhc.ellucid.com/documents/view/2141?product=policy. The procedure is available at https://ykhc.ellucid.com/documents/view/1648

Please do not go to Bethel Public Health for your annual TB testing. It is not possible to track your OSHA-required annual compliance if it is performed outside of YKHC and the PPD test provided by Public Health is much less accurate than the Q-Gold test provided by YKHC.

With the high prevalence of TB in the YK Delta it is imperative that the most accurate test be performed and the results documented with YKHC Employee Health.
