COVID-19 | Test to Treat Equity Program
In November of 2022, Kaweah Health was awarded the COVID-19 Test to Treat Equity Program Grant.
The COVID-19 Test to Treat Equity Program connects COVID-19 patients with therapeutic treatments to decrease related morbidity and mortality.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has established the COVID-19 Therapeutics Equity Grant Program to expeditiously connect patients who test positive for COVID-19 with therapeutic treatment to decrease related morbidity and mortality.
CDPH supports Kaweah Health's access to clinically appropriate COVID-19 therapeutics in a timely manner with a focus on three key expedited elements of COVID-19 assessment and treatment (testing, prescribing and therapeutics).
