Ibn Sina Foundation and CVS Health Launch COVID-19 Testing

HOUSTON, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Ibn Sina Foundation today announced it has launched rapid COVID-19 testing, together with CVS Health, at its Ibn Sina Wilcrest Community Clinic location. Licensed health care providers from MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic of CVS Health, and CVS Pharmacy colleagues will staff the testing operation.

<img id="prnejpg0ff0left" title="CVS Health"…

«The Ibn Sina Foundation has been serving the uninsured community for nearly two decades, providing preventive and primary medical, dental, diagnostic and specialty care services through seven community clinics across Greater Houston and Port Arthur areas,» said Mr. Nasruddin Rupani, Chairman of the Ibn Sina Foundation. «Today we are pleased to work with CVS Health, in these trying times, to provide free COVID-19 testing services to meet the needs of our patients and community members.»

Testing at Ibn Sina Wilcrest Community Clinic, located at 11226 S. Wilcrest Drive in Houston, will be open to the public by appointment at no cost. Patients will need to pre-register in advance by calling 281-495-7462 to schedule a same-day time slot for testing. A personal vehicle is not required for testing and results will be provided on-the-spot. To be eligible for testing, patients will need to meet criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in addition to age guidelines.

«Working with partners like Ibn Sina Foundation is an important part of our comprehensive strategy to increase access to COVID-19 testing,» said Dr. Garth Graham, Vice President, Community Health and Impact, CVS Health. «This joint effort allows us to tap into the network of a trusted organization with strong community ties to further expand testing in areas of greatest need.»

The CVS Health Foundation, a charitable entity associated with CVS Health, has a longstanding relationship with the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, providing more than $9 million over the last six years to help clinics nationwide, like the Ibn Sina Foundation, to increase access to care for underserved populations.

«The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted vulnerable communities, with persons of color contracting and dying from the virus at alarmingly high rates across the United States. I have consistently stressed the importance of targeted testing and contact tracing in our nation’s most vulnerable communities to stop this phenomena and ultimately aid in the defeat of coronavirus,» Congressman Al Green (TX-09) stated. «This is why I applaud CVS Health and Ibn Sina Foundation in my congressional district for providing free coronavirus testing to some of our nation’s most diverse communities. This community clinic will eliminate one barrier to ending the pandemic that far too many people face: access. By locating the clinic in a vulnerable community, we make testing more accessible physically to those who need it most. By offering no-cost coronavirus testing, we make it more accessible financially for uninsured, underinsured, and undocumented individuals.»

Ibn Sina Foundation was established in 2001 by a group of business and healthcare professionals. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure the health of the community by providing integrated, preventive and primary care in a clinical setting through the dissemination and application of health-related knowledge, thereby enhancing the quality of life of people.

In addition to offering testing together with several community partners across the country, CVS Health is offering drive-thru testing at 1,000 CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide. More than half of these CVS Pharmacy test sites serve communities with the greatest need for support, as measured by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Social Vulnerability Index. Since first offering COVID-19 testing at a pilot site in mid-March, the company has performed nearly 200,000 tests nationwide. Beginning in June, CVS Health has a goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity.

Ibn Sina Foundation y CVS Health lanzan pruebas para COVID-19

HOUSTON, 9 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ibn Sina Foundation anunció hoy que ha lanzado pruebas rápidas de COVID-19, junto con CVS Health, en su sede de Clínica Comunitaria Ibn Sina Wilcrest. Los profesionales de atención médica matriculados de MinuteClinic, la clínica médica minorista de CVS Health y los colegas de CVS Pharmacy estarán a cargo de la operación de los tests.

<div id="prni_dvprnejpgb20fleft" style="WIDTH: 100%; TEXT-ALIGN:…

«Ibn Sina Foundation ha venido atendiendo a la comunidad que carece de seguro durante casi dos décadas, prestando servicios de atención preventiva y primaria médica, odontológica, diagnóstica y especializada a través de siete clínicas comunitarias en las áreas del Gran Houston y Port Arthur«, comentó el señor Nasruddin Rupani, presidente de Ibn Sina Foundation. «Hoy nos complace trabajar con CVS Health, en estos tiempos difíciles, para brindar servicios gratuitos de pruebas de COVID-19 para satisfacer las necesidades de nuestros pacientes y miembros de la comunidad».

Las pruebas en la Clínica Comunitaria Ibn Sina Wilcrest, ubicada en 11226 S. Wilcrest Drive en Houston, estarán abiertas al público, con cita previa, en forma gratuita. Los pacientes deben registrarse por anticipado llamando al 281-495-7462 para programar un turno en el día para hacer el test. No es necesario un vehículo personal para hacer el test, y los resultados se entregarán en el momento. Para ser elegible para la prueba, los pacientes deberán satisfacer los criterios establecidos por los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades, además de los lineamientos con respecto a la edad.

«Trabajar con socios como Ibn Sina Foundation es una parte importante de nuestra estrategia integral para aumentar el acceso a las pruebas para COVID-19», comentó el Dr. Garth Graham, vicepresidente de Salud e Comunitaria e Impacto, CVS Health. «Este esfuerzo conjunto nos permite aprovechar la red de una organización confiable con sólidos lazos comunitarios para ampliar aún más los tests en áreas con mayor necesidad».

CVS Health Foundation, una entidad benéfica asociada con CVS Health, tiene una relación de larga data con la Asociación Nacional de Clínicas Gratuitas y de Beneficencia, y ha aportado más de $9 millones en los últimos seis años para ayudar a clínicas de todo el país, como la de Ibn Sina Foundation, para aumentar el acceso a la atención para las poblaciones subatendidas.

«La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto desproporcionado sobre las comunidades vulnerables, donde las personas de color han contraído el virus y han muerto por su causa en tasas alarmantemente elevadas en todo Estados Unidos. He destacado regularmente la importancia de las pruebas dirigidas y el seguimiento de los contactos en las comunidades más vulnerables de nuestro país para detener este fenómeno y en última instancia ayudar a derrotar al coronavirus», manifestó el congresista Al Green (TX-09). «Es por eso que aplaudo a CVS Health y Ibn Sina Foundation en mi distrito electoral por ofrecer tests de coronavirus gratuitas a algunas de las comunidades más diversas de la nación. Esta clínica comunitaria eliminará una barrera para terminar con la pandemia que demasiada gente enfrenta: el acceso. Al ubicar la clínica en una comunidad vulnerable, ponemos las pruebas más al alcance físicamente de quienes más las necesitan. Al ofrecer tests de coronavirus sin costo, lo hacemos más accesible desde el punto de vista financiero para las personas sin seguro, con seguros limitados, y sin documentos».

Ibn Sina Foundation fue establecida en 2001 por un grupo de profesionales empresarios y médicos. La misión de la Fundación es garantizar la salud de la comunidad mediante la provisión de atención integrada, preventiva y primaria en un entorno clínico, a través de la diseminación y la aplicación de conocimiento relacionado con la salud, mejorando así la calidad de vida de las personas.

Además de ofrecer pruebas en conjunto con varios socios de comunidades de todo el país, CVS Health ofrece pruebas desde el auto en 1000 farmacias CVS de todo el país. Más de la mitad de estos centros de testeo en farmacias CVS atienden a comunidades con la mayor necesidad de apoyo, según lo medido por el Índice de Vulnerabilidad Social de los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC por sus siglas en inglés). Desde que ofreció las primeras pruebas de COVID-19 en un sitio piloto a mediados de marzo, la compañía ha hecho más de 200,000 tests en todo el país. A partir de junio, CVS Health tiene la meta de procesar hasta 1.5 millón de tests por mes, sujeto a la disponibilidad de suministros y la capacidad de los laboratorios.

Messianic Jewish Leaders Speak Out on the Tragic Death of George Floyd

PHILADELPHIA, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The leadership of the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) and the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues (IAMCS), on behalf of its respective constituencies, would like to express our deep sadness as we stand together in one accord with the national heartache over the tragic death of George Floyd. Our heartfelt prayers are with the family and friends of Mr. Floyd, and we express our most sincere sympathies, in unity with our African American brothers and sisters who currently lament the sorrow of the centuries-old struggle against racial hatred.

As Jewish people, we know the pain of not being treated on an equal basis by others. We are well acquainted with the inhumanity and suffering that results from discrimination and persecution which, historically, has given rise to the death of so many of our people.

We stand in condemnation of the heinous act committed by those who wrongfully took Mr. Floyd’s life. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said: «Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.» We could not more agree. The tragedy in Minneapolis has touched us all. As Dr. King well-knew, the Bible teaches us many principles of how men ought to live, but none is more fundamental nor urgent in our time than the word that Yeshua (Jesus) gave us concerning the brotherhood of mankind: «My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.» (John 15:12).

We who love America and believe it to be a nation greatly blessed by God, must nonetheless recognize how much our great soil has been stained by the sin of racism. Although America has made meaningful and important strides forward in advancing the civil rights of all, it is sometimes difficult to imagine if or how the country can ever overcome so great a sin. Yet, we have hope, as Scripture declares: «Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.» (I Peter 4:8)

We love our African American brothers and sisters and do hope and pray that Mr. Floyd’s tragic and unnecessary death will, perhaps, bring people in this great country to a place of greater love and understanding.

We are all children of the same Creator. We are all sinners in need of a savior. Our heartfelt prayer is that we can come together at this moment and humbly ask Almighty God for the healing, restoration and renewal we so desperately need in America today.

«He has told you, humanity, what is good, and what the Lord is seeking from you: Only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.» (Micah 6:8)
