FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF) – A partnership between MedStar and Tarrant County Public Health is sending specially trained MedStar personnel into resident’s homes who are being monitored for COVID-19, to complete a medical assessment and collect the sample needed for TCPH to conduct additional testing.
According to Medstar, TCPH will provide the ambulance service with the test kits and a list of people who may require in-home testing. The health district will retain the responsibility of notifying the resident the results of the test.
Executives with Medstar said Friday that the goal of the program is to prevent people who are under investigation for the COVID-19 virus from having to travel in public for further evaluation, unless they are seriously ill which may require medical attention.
MedStar is providing this service at no cost to TCPH.
