U of U 星空传媒 "Wellness Bus" Provides Testing for COVID-19

To expand locations where Wasatch Front residents can be tested for COVID-19, the University of Utah 星空传媒 Wellness Bus has been outfitted for virus testing. The 40-foot specially-designed RV was designed to travel to underserved neighborhoods to provide health consultations, screening, and education as part of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation鈥檚 Driving Out Diabetes Initiative. With pandemic safety in mind, regular operations at the Wellness Bus have been suspended. Now, COVID-19 testing is available.

鈥淲e are grateful for the opportunity to help our communities in this way鈥 said U of U 星空传媒 Chief Wellness Officer . 鈥淭he Wellness Bus is a trusted community partner and our staff is known in these neighborhoods. We hope that individuals who meet testing criteria will feel safe and welcome to get tested for the virus at the Bus.鈥

Marcus said getting the Wellness Bus ready for COVID-19 testing so quickly was a huge team effort with U of U 星空传媒 colleagues and the Utah Department of 星空传媒. She called it, 鈥淎 real testament to our commitment to serve people from all sectors of the community.鈥
