ATLANTA - June 26, 2020 - Board certified physician and sought-after interventional pain management specialist, Dr. Damon Christian Kimes launches a mobile COVID-19 testing initiative—starting in Atlanta.
According to the department of Public Health, Georgia has a reported 65,928 Coronavirus cases resulting in 10,457 hospitalizations and ultimately 2,745 untimely deaths. Thousands worldwide have joined the effort to decrease and prevent occurrences and the Atlanta physician has heeded the call for help. To tackle Georgia's staggering statistics, Kimes merged forces with 23 Consulting, LLC and Samson Tours to dispatch Georgia Know Your Status—a 64 bus fleet of mobile testing sites as a safe, convenient alternative to crowded emergency rooms and other local, difficult to identify testing sites. Chief Medical Officer Kimes and his partners will offer efficient, easily-accessible testing sites throughout the southeast.
Kimes' efforts are atop the list of organizations bringing testing units to sites within communities that may not otherwise have access. Progressively moving forward, the units will travel based on demand to cities, neighborhoods and businesses as an extension of brick and mortar facilities. Open to all, the joint initiative encourages people to get tested and educate themselves on their status. Kimes and partners hope to reach their audiences and key media personnel to spread the message that testing help is available.
Fully equipped, the mobile testing sites will have administrative staff on-site to collect insurance information and process services like a traditional clinic. All patients are encouraged to bring insurance information and identification. Uninsured patients are able to be serviced as well, and are welcome without discrimination. The Cares Act will assist the uninsured by covering the cost of testing. The forthcoming website will be: www.KnowYourStatus.com
"As a physician, I want to ensure that we prevent the spread of COVID-19 as much as possible. Testing will lead to quick identification of cases, quick treatment, and immediate isolation to prevent further spread of this virus," says Kimes on the importance of expeditious testing.
Always having a heart for hurting people, before opening his own practice, Dr. Kimes spent years as a successful emergency medicine and family practice doctor. Aside from the public portion of his effort, he intends for his step forward to be one of many to come that will lead to healing and flattening the curve of this rampant medical crisis.
Recognized as a medical innovator through his practice, Roswell Pain and Weight Loss Specialists, Kimes maintains a solid 5-star rating for consistent, top-quality patient care—and for delivering results expected.
