TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics and Gravity Diagnostics have recently expanded a partnership which started a year ago.
Gravity Diagnostics, based across the Ohio River in Covington, Kentucky, serves as the Bearcats COVID-19 testing provider allowing UC to continue its safe return to competition for the 2020-21 season. The local business has provided affordable, fast and reliable Gold Standard PCR testing, allowing significantly fewer disruptions in UC's schedule compared to peer institutions in the region and around the country.
Gravity Diagnostics also recently made a donation to the UCATS Next Level Success Fund to provide additional opportunities for the same UC student-athletes the company is helping to compete safely in the midst of a global pandemic.
"During the height of the pandemic, our team saw value in assisting local universities who did all they could to make things as normal as possible for their student athletes," Tony Remington, chief executive officer and co-founder of Gravity, said. "We have many alumni from UC so when we were approached about testing on Sundays, our team rose to the occasion. The partnership actually ended up providing a morale boost for us during a really tough time. Watching them go undefeated in the regular season was great knowing we played a small role in their success. I have been really impressed with the staff at UC and their commitment to putting their student-athletes' health and well-being above all other factors. They went to Gold Standard PCR testing even though the pricing was higher than other options because they wanted to provide the best care possible for their students."
"We've been very fortunate to have a partnership with Gravity Diagnostics," Senior Associate AD/Medical Services Bob Mangine said. "They came to the rescue and helped us salvage a football season. After working with three different companies, which didn't meet our needs or standards, Anthony Remington and Gravity Diagnostics worked hand-in-hand with UC Athletics which allowed us to complete our football season safely and now all 18 of our sports are actively competing thanks to their innovative pathways, timeliness, accuracy and quality of testing. We have done well over 8,000 tests with Gravity since August of last year and their reputation speaks for itself. Gravity Diagnostics have set a standard which has helped us through these trying times. I can't say enough about Anthony and his staff in supporting UC Athletics."
