Improving Access to COVID-19 Testing in Oklahoma Communities
Project CATCH-UP aims to support the organizing of community-based COVID-19 testing events for vulnerable populations across Oklahoma and to provide guidance on social, ethical, legal, behavioral, and economic perspectives to testing in our state. The Public Health Institute of Oklahoma (PHIO) is collaborating with The University of Oklahoma Health Science Center’s Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute to implement this project across the state of Oklahoma.
“Community-Engaged Approaches to Testing in Community Healthcare Settings for Underserved
Populations in Oklahoma” (CATCH-UP Oklahoma)
aims to address gaps in COVID-19 testing in rural
and underserved populations through leveraging
established community partnerships to enhance
the existing state-wide public health and health
care infrastructure.
There are multiple ways to get involved, whether you are a community or state-wide organization, primary care provider or community member. This project will be made better by you! Community organizations will be eligible to receive funds based on their involvement! Request an event, register or email us
