About the solution
Dr. Elizabeth Forrester and Dr. Dawn Richards, faculty members at Baylor School, knew they could use their expertise and resources to help in the testing efforts for Covid-19. Both are PhD research scientists with access to the university level science lab at Baylor School so, they decided to approach the school’s administration and pitch the idea.
“Once we had the protocol worked out and it became obvious that we had a resource that we wanted to make available to the community is when we began talks with the Hamilton County Health Department,” Dr. Forrester said.
The lab has been certified as a clinical lab to test local Covid-19 samples by the Hamilton County. The lab receives samples from the local healthcare facilities and is testing about 60 swabs daily but the school has ordered more equipment so they can increase their testing capacity for up to 300 tests per day.
