| General explanation attachment | Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4a- Program Service AccomplishmentsLarge national laboratories could not process these tests until October or even November at a reasonable turnaround time for treatment; the Organization clinical laboratory was deemed imperative during this time. The test performed in the Foundation laboratory is a molecular PCR test, which was not available at commercial re-sellers until several months into the pandemic. Once testing was more readily available, organizations began to use other commercial labs offering this testing. There was no attempt to recapture or develop a business product line; the Foundation responded to the demand as defined by its mission until after other testing courses became avaiable in early 2021, when the Foundations scientist resumed their research. The staff worked 10-12-hour days, seven days a week, and were often at the lab until late in the evening due to their dedication to serving the community. |
