McKesson's Health Mart is rolling out COVID-19 testing nationwide beginning next week. The company said that select pharmacies serving low-income areas and vulnerable populations would begin offering tests in partnership with healthcare technology company eTrueNorth.
“Americans trust their local pharmacy. In fact, 95% of the U.S. population lives with five miles of a pharmacy,” said Coral May, CEO and president of eTrueNorth. “By leveraging this trust and providing the needed technology infrastructure, eTrueNorth hopes to materially contribute to meet the need for testing. We are re-deploying our proven delivery model to partner with pharmacies in a drive-through testing model to test more and more Americans.”
eTrueNorth already is enabling new drive-through COVID-19 testing sites in partnership with a growing list of national pharmacy chains that also include Walmart and Kroger. The companies said work on this public-private partnership began on March 13 and includes funding by the Department of Health and Human Services. The partnership is opening new parking lot sites in towns and cities across the nation daily.
