I personally thank The Excellence Church and Pastor Taylor for partnering with us to offer COVID-19 testing for the residents of Midway,” stated FDOH-Gadsden Health Officer Dr. Adrian Cooksey. Pastor Taylor stated, “Considering the current trends that we’re seeing in Gadsden County, coupled with our students and teachers preparing to return to school, it’s important that we all know our status prior to the start of school. On behalf of The Excellence Church, we are very excited to be of service to Gadsden and the surrounding counties as we continue to work to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
