ATLANTA - EntSun -- Free COVID-19 testing, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) screenings will be available this Saturday, September 19, at Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church from 9am – 4pm.

"Ebenezer is committed to helping the community fight against ailments that strike hardest against people of color, and in disenfranchised areas," says Reverend Raphael G. Warnock, Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. "Regular COVID testing is an important tool to fighting the virus."

Ebenezer is partnering with Allergy & Asthma Network, the leading nonprofit patient outreach, education, advocacy and research organization to provide the free services. Saturday's screenings are part of the organizations 'Not One More Life Trusted Messengers Program' and is made possible through a new public-private partnership with global biopharmaceutical company Sanofi US.

"Covid-19, asthma and COPD are life-changing medical conditions that can lead to poor health outcomes. We are excited to offer these free screenings to those in the Atlanta area," says Tonya Winders, President and CEO of Allergy & Asthmas Network. "We are working, along with our partners, to reduce barriers to care for at-risk patients and communities of color," she adds.
