What this research studies
Long COVID can significantly affect quality of life for many people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly minority, rural, and older populations. This initiative will expand the Johns Hopkins Post-Acute COVID-19 Team (JH PACT) program, called SPaRC, to offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. The program will focus on increasing access and reducing wait times, reaching more patients through partnerships with community organizations. We will continuously refine the program to ensure it provides patient-centered, evidence-based care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing Long COVID, particularly those from minority, rural, older, or socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have Long COVID or are not seeking care for its symptoms would not directly benefit from this specific program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could provide improved access to specialized care and better health outcomes for individuals living with Long COVID.
How similar studies have performed: Multidisciplinary Long COVID clinics have shown promise in providing care, and this program builds upon an existing, established program at Johns Hopkins.
