WPQC Spotlight: Thad Schumacher, Fitchburg Family Pharmacy COVID-19 and TB Clinics
by Kristen South, 2021 PharmD Candidate
"With the deadline approaching to renew an annual health requirement and options limited, several pharmacy students felt frustrated with their lack of choices for affordable tuberculosis (TB) skin testing. Under normal circumstances, the UW School of Pharmacy hosts a yearly clinic where students are provided with the skin test at no charge. Due to COVID-19, this year was different, with no school clinic nor affordable tests available via appointment at University Health Services. That’s when Thad Schumacher, owner of Fitchburg Family Pharmacy, decided to step-in."
