A closer look at our work on behalf of governmental agencies

We got Americans back to their everyday lives

1 We made it safer to return to school

We facilitated over 4M tests and distributed 13.5M rapid tests in educational settings from pre-k to college.

2 We got Americans back to work

We facilitated over 1M tests for our nation’s workforce whose in-person work kept our economy moving and our communities safer.

3 We protected those living in congregate settings 

We facilitated over 750K tests in long-term care and correctional facilities where rapid detection was critical in minimizing spread.

We Communicated for Impact

For instance, we created the Pool Test Song to educate young people about the importance of participating in pooled testing at school —  an easy, low-cost way to safely return to in-person learning. 

We Got Students Back to School

After an incredibly difficult year in 2020, students wanted and needed a return to normalcy. A huge part of that was a return to in-person learning and all the benefits that the community of school brings.

Vaccines don’t save lives. Vaccinations do.

1 We accelerated vaccine deployment

We launched some of the nation’s first mass vaccination sites in the country including Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, and the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center.

2 We left no one behind

We launched hundreds of vaccination clinics in parks, parking lots, churches, senior centers, schools, camps, workplaces, trains, container ships, etc., in some of Massachusetts’ most vulnerable communities.

This is Our Shot

Learn how CIC Health came together to combat COVID-19, launching four mass vaccination sites in a matter of weeks.
