Carbon Well being Launches Massive COVID-19 Testing Websites in South San Francisco, California, Montgomery Township and Plainsboro Township, New Jersey

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Carbon Health, a leading omnichannel healthcare provider, announced three new major COVID-19 testing sites in South San Francisco, California, as well as in Montgomery Township, NJ and Plainsboro Township, NJ. These community-based websites offer thousands of COVID-19 tests in areas that are seeing an increase in COVID-19 positivity rates due to the Omicron variant, at no additional cost.

Throughout the pandemic, Carbon Health has been at the forefront of patient care, partnering with cities across the country on public testing initiatives, including conducting more than 2.1 million COVID-19 tests and nearly 1.5 million vaccines. During December 2021 and January 2022, Carbon Health conducted nearly 4,000 tests per day and provided vital COVID-19 care at 100 clinics and through virtual appointments nationwide. For patients who test positive, Carbon Health offers its proprietary COVID Positive Care program, which provides access to comprehensive emergency and virtual care assessment, state-of-the-art clinical protocols, symptom trackers, device monitoring, and therapeutic modalities including symptom management and monoclonal antibody therapy.

Carbon Health works closely with public partners such as Montgomery Township and Plainsboro Township, New Jersey, and the City of South San Francisco, California to understand their unique needs to create a rapid and community-focused pandemic response. During the recent COVID-19 omicron surge, New Jersey communities have struggled to obtain rapid home tests by going to overcrowded emergency clinics and emergency rooms or receiving delayed PCR test results.

“Due to the incredible post-holiday demand for COVID-19 testing, we were looking for a reliable partner to host COVID-19 testing clinics, and Carbon Health more than delivered,” said Devangi Patel, health officer for Montgomery Township Health Department. Carbon Health was able to mobilize its resources at short notice and expand its capacity to run clinics in a matter of days. They took the time to understand our agency and our needs, and helped us provide a much-needed resource to our community around town.”

“We are at a critical juncture in the fight against the pandemic where the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly and is highly transmissible,” said Dr. Chirag Patel, Regional Clinical Director at Carbon Health. “At our nine clinics in central New Jersey, 30% of COVID-19 tests are currently positive, up from 8% in early December. Each test helps our community make more informed decisions to get kids back to school, keep businesses running, and end the surge.”

“Carbon Health is uniquely positioned to help with our expertise and experience across a variety of areas, including rapidly mobilizing healthcare teams to set up large-scale testing sites, partnering with local community governments, and our ability to flexibly scale down and scale up at these Efforts to succeed are based on local needs,” said Nita Sommers, Chief Growth Officer at Carbon Health.
