The FDA has approved New York State to authorize the state’s 28 public and private labs to begin manual, semi-automated and automated testing for novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The approval allows the state to dramatically increase testing capacity to thousands of tests per day. The approval also extends to the Roche high-volume platform for testing. Testing is free to all eligible New Yorkers.
New York State’s Wadsworth Lab has developed a new, less intrusive test for COVID-19. The new test is done through a saliva sample and a self-administered short nasal swab in the presence of a health care professional. Additionally, health care professionals can self-administer the test without another health care professional present.
Bethany Medical Clinic was originally a primary care and preventative care practice. We saw a care gap for our patients (mostly young working professionals living in New York City) because there are a number of barriers to getting mental health care. Many patients struggle with anxiety, depression, poor concentration and insomnia, but could not afford to pay cash fees. Often even if the care was affordable there were no opportunities for sessions outside of regular work hours, so our patients could not get away from their busy jobs and lives to sustain ongoing care.
