First Choice offers virtually every conceivable medical testing procedure that you need, and we keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify all testing results. This includes TB skin testing without an appointment! The test is very easy and noninvasive: the client receives a small injection of the testing solution under the skin and returns within 24-72 hours to have the test “read.” We offer TB skin tests every weekday except Thursday, and we’ll have you in and out in just a few minutes!

It’s always challenging to fill job openings, and many companies are currently experiencing critical shortages of qualified workers; when they make new hires, it’s crucial to put them to work immediately! First Choice offers pre-employment drug screenings in a discreet and confidential setting, and we offer every conceivable laboratory test and procedure at our Little Rock facility or onsite. We can help you with respirator fit, pulmonary function tests, medical clearances, audiograms, blood draws, and more. We also offer pre-employment fit-for-duty exams and physicals.
One of the largest drug testing labs (and the lab we use) is Quest Diagnostics. Each year they produce a report called the drug testing index. In that report is the positivity rate of drug testing based on the thousands of tests they process each year. 2022 results have not been released yet, but results from 2021 show a 4.6% positivity rate overall.
You put a lot of thought into every new hire, and employers often consider dozens of applicants for each new position. Making great hires is hard work, and you’re always forced to base your decisions on limited or incomplete information. Resumes often present an idealized picture of a prospective employee’s work history, and you should be just as interested in what they choose not to include as what they do. The good news is that it’s easy to make sure that each prospective employee is drug-free!
