TB Screening Deadline Extended for Employees with January Birthdays

Employees born in January, February and March have been notified by email that they are due to complete their annual health evaluation.

We have extended the deadline for those employees with January birthdays to Wednesday, Feb. 10, due to the spike in COVID-19 cases. Employees who do not complete the health evaluation and any applicable required steps will be held to policy guidelines that can lead to termination if they are not compliant.

How it works:

Take the TB risk assessment in MARS. See a short video HERE.

1. Log on to MARS
2. Click the Employee Health Portal tile
3. Enter your password again for security
4. Click on Message Center or click on the red bell to see your messages. Your first message will be a questionnaire.

Your individual TB risk assessment results will determine whether you need a TB test and next steps.

• If a TB test is not needed, no further action is required.

If a TB test is needed, you must schedule an appointment with Employee Health. You may schedule your appointment at any Houston Methodist Employee Health department, regardless of where you work.
