Hi, I'm Dr. David Beuther, I'm the Chief Medical Information Officer, and one of the lung doctors here at National Jewish Health.
As the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, we have a duty to be at the center of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And, one of the ways that we're meeting this challenge, is to greatly expand the diagnostic testing for COVID-19.
We have some of the world's leading scientists helping us develop new ways and better ways to diagnose this condition.
We've been innovative, as we have our entire history, in developing new systems so that we can get diagnostic test kits and processes in place.
And, through all of this hard work and innovation, we're now able to do up to 1,000 tests per day.
Anybody in Colorado who wants a COVID-19 test can have that with a doctor's order.
We think this is critically important in our ability to get out of our homes, and start life over again, get our businesses back running and get our patient population healthy.
National Jewish wants to be at the center, and the way we're going to do that is to serve the public health by testing Colorado for COVID-19.
