Participant Testimonial - Leilani Johnson

"The COVID-19 pandemic has been a health crisis unlike anything most of us have ever seen. As someone who works in clinical research, I understand the importance of studying individuals who have been exposed and infected with COVID-19, so that healthcare providers and researchers can better identify the timing of infection patterns. The information collected through the COVID-19 Community Research Partnership study is integral to the advancement of medicine and in developing strategies to reduce the spread of the virus – ultimately, eliminating it". Leilani Johnson, Wake Forest Baptist Health.
