It is our mission to dramatically reduce the number of coronavirus infections in high-risk communities.
The Coalition to Advance Coronavirus Testing is a public-private, non-partisan coalition, managed by National Minority Quality Forum, to serve as a national coordinating body working to:
Ensure the availability of testing supplies for providers serving minority and rural communities
Communicate to high-risk communities the importance of being tested, and to be a trusted conveyor of culturally-sensitive information about living safely during the pandemic
Facilitate in-community testing
Standardize data collection to support public health and clinical research on vulnerable populations
Share best practices to reduce exposure to the virus and lower mortality rates in rural and communities of color
Ensure diversity in coronavirus clinical trials to include representatives from underserved communities
