Wichita Eagle Highlights Launch of Clearway Testing

The Wichita Eagle recently reported on the launch of Clearway Testing, a community-wide effort to connect people affected by groundwater contamination to free health testing and trusted healthcare resources.

The article explores the history of groundwater contamination in the area commonly referred to as 29th & Grove, where chemicals including TCE and PCE were found in groundwater connected to past industrial activity. The report notes that many community members were unaware of the contamination for years and highlights ongoing efforts to provide testing, information, and support.

The story also details the creation of Clearway Testing, which brings together local healthcare organizations and community partners to help people better understand potential exposure and access free health testing. Through Clearway Testing, individuals can connect with licensed medical professionals, learn more about their health, and receive guidance on next steps if additional care is needed.

Anyone who lived, worked, went to school, attended church, or spent time near the 29th & Grove area from the 1970s to today may benefit from testing. Free health testing is available through Clearway Testing partners through December 31, 2026.
