A closer look at our work on behalf of governmental agencies
We got Americans back to their everyday lives
1 We made it safer to return to school
We facilitated over 4M tests and distributed 13.5M rapid tests in educational settings from pre-k to college.
2 We got Americans back to work
We facilitated over 1M tests for our nation’s workforce whose in-person work kept our economy moving and our communities safer.
3 We protected those living in congregate settings
We facilitated over 750K tests in long-term care and correctional facilities where rapid detection was critical in minimizing spread.
We Communicated for Impact
For instance, we created the Pool Test Song to educate young people about the importance of participating in pooled testing at school — an easy, low-cost way to safely return to in-person learning.
We Got Students Back to School
After an incredibly difficult year in 2020, students wanted and needed a return to normalcy. A huge part of that was a return to in-person learning and all the benefits that the community of school brings.

Vaccines don’t save lives. Vaccinations do.
1 We accelerated vaccine deployment
We launched some of the nation’s first mass vaccination sites in the country including Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, and the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center.
2 We left no one behind
We launched hundreds of vaccination clinics in parks, parking lots, churches, senior centers, schools, camps, workplaces, trains, container ships, etc., in some of Massachusetts’ most vulnerable communities.
This is Our Shot
Learn how CIC Health came together to combat COVID-19, launching four mass vaccination sites in a matter of weeks.
