COVID-19 patients who are experiencing lingering symptoms at least four weeks after the infection has cleared are eligible for the program. Currently, the post-COVID clinic is only accepting phone and video appointments. It connects patients with lingering symptoms to an appropriate specialist who can determine a treatment plan.
“It may be medication to ease symptoms or simply getting patients who are dealing with anxiety and depression an appointment with a behavioral health specialist in a timely manner,” said Elisheva Weinberger, DO, a rheumatologist who has been serving at the post-COVID clinic since it opened in December.
A rheumatology nurse practitioner, family medicine physician and internal medicine physician are also part of the clinic’s staff.
So far, many of the patients they’re seeing have breathing issues, according to a news release.
