Primary.Health’s platform helped us create a safer in-person learning environment for all of our staff, especially our teachers and students.

Public Programs
While our students are back to focusing on learning, credit is due to the district’s ongoing commitment to testing and responding proactively to the data with the measures and care our educators and health experts have at their disposal. Testing contributed to where we are today: a reduction of in-school transmission to almost zero.

The Primary family has made me feel at home from the day I interviewed. My managers help me strive for excellence and gave me the opportunity to hone my skills as a software engineer. You can reach out to anyone on the team if you’re blocked and they’ll be more than happy to guide you in the right direction. Every person at Primary is down to earth and in the business of making a difference!

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What questions should we direct to CDPH?
CDPH is responsible for final approval of organizations, test kit distribution, training records, and the courier network. For more information, visit CDPH.
What does Primary.Health support?
The Primary.Health software platform supports the general testing program. We help you set up accounts, register participants, report results, and other software tasks.
What test types does this program cover?
Currently, this program only supports rapid antigen tests.
Must my entire staff attend training?
Yes! All staff with access to the Primary.Health platform MUST attend a CDPH hands-on training and complete the quiz. The system is reconciled weekly and administrators who do not meet training requirements will be disabled.
Do I need to import my participant list?
No, this is optional. Most organizations email the registration link to their distribution list and have participants register that way. If you prefer to have your roster imported, submit the Primary.Health Support Request Form and select Data.
Is using Primary.Health required?
Testing is no longer required by CDPH. However, if you do enroll in this optional program, you will use Primary.Health.
