“We are proud to offer COVID-19 screenings at no cost to our scholars and their families and the Fayette
County community,” said Roszalyn M. Akins, Executive Director of BMW Academy . “Across the
country, data shows COVID-19 is disproportionally impacting communities of color, and here in
Kentucky, Fayette County is no exception.”
“The coronavirus has hit the Fayette County Community hard,” said Bill Jones, Plan President and CEO
of WellCare of Kentucky. “At WellCare, we have a commitment to helping our members and local
communities during this challenging time, while ensuring underserved communities have access to the
care and services they need to stay safe and healthy.”
“As states and businesses open back up, it’s critical that our local communities have access to convenient,
affordable COVID-19 tests to help in the fight against the disease,” said Jennifer Bolus, Managing
Partner, Bluewater Diagnostic Laboratory.
