There are people who have had COVID-19 and are still struggling with a “bewildering array of symptoms”. There is little to no attention to those who are still suffering from symptoms months after contracting the virus.
WellSpan COVID Care, a new virtual program is supporting patients suffering from “COVID long-haulers” and is a coordinated approach to better understand and provide effective treatment for those experiencing persistent symptoms of COVID-19.
From Pulmonary, neurology to cardiology and behavioral specialists are working together to provide rehabilitation services. Which is all important due to how much COVID-19 impacts various systems in the body.
WellSpan wants patients to know that they are being heard and they will be supported in the long fight against COVID. Patients may be referred to the program by their primary physician and will be asked to fill out an online questionnaire.
