Empower Clinics CEO Steven McAuley joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news Empowers Kai Medical Laboratory has successfully registered with the U.S. Federal CARES Act Program. That designation allows them to enter into agreements where the cost of testing is usually not out of pocket but covered by the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Program for COVID-19 Testing, Treatment, and Vaccine Administration.
McAuley telling Proactive Kai will be starting to offer covered testing in 500 Texas schools. Texas schools have received at least $17.1 billion in federal aid over the course of the pandemic, $13.2 billion of which was allocated as part of the March 2020 CARES Act.
