Good Afternoon Brothers and Sisters-

Our apologies for the delay in getting this scheduling tool out for Ultrasounds.  The Local worked out an agreement with the employer to allow for these scans to be scheduled both on and off duty.  If you click the link below you will open a PDF with an embedded link to schedule your ultrasound for the week of October 23-27.  In order to simplify this for BC’s, if you are planning to participate on duty, please attempt to coordinate schedules with your crew if more than one of you plan to participate.  Reminder that this sign up is on a first come, first serve basis and spouses and partners are welcome.  You will receive a bill/receipt directly from UDS which you will use if you are going to seek FSA/HSA reimbursement.  Please reach out to Doug or Evan with questions.
