Patients who need a chest x-ray are referred to the X-Ray Imaging Center located on the JMH campus.  It is the patient's responsibility to have their chest x-ray done PRIOR to their appointment with Dr. Breite.

Patients are seen by appointment only. Chest Clinic is held once a month in which the patient and X-ray film are then evaluated by Dr. Breite.

Anti–tuberculosis medications prescribed by Dr. Breite are filled by the Health Department through a State contracted pharmacy. Medications are sent to the Health Department of your choice for pick up. Jefferson County Health Department dispenses medication Monday through Thursday 8:00am-5:30pm. No appointment is necessary to pick up your medicine..

Patients on anti-tuberculosis medicine are seen for a minimum of two additional visits, usually after two months into therapy and one final visit upon completion of medication.  Standard minimum therapy is presently nine months.

There is currently no charge for your office visits, medications, lab work or your chest X-ray through JMH Imaging Center.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the TB Coordinator at (636) 789-3372.
