RESUMEN
This article describes a community-academic partnership designed and implemented to address disparities in accessing COVID-19 testing in Arizona, from November 2020 through March 2023. An equitable community-academic partnership, the involvement of local leaders, and the engagement of community health workers were critical for the success of the intervention. More than 5000 previously underserved patients were tested and received COVID-19 related services. A profile comparison with a matched group documents the success of the program in reaching the targeted population.
