The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has partnered with Matrix Medical Network to help more than 20 academic medical centers involved in NIAID’s COVID-19 Prevention Network establish mobile health clinics at universities, hospitals and other locations across the U.S.

Mobile clinics will serve communities in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Washington

The collaboration, which is part of the Operation Warp Speed initiative and is supported through an agreement with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, will reach trial participants who traditionally have difficulty traveling to trial sites, including those who reside in rural locations.
