What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the care provided to adults suffering from Long COVID by integrating specialized services into primary care settings. The Mount Sinai Center for Post-COVID care will expand its reach by opening a new site in East Harlem, targeting minoritized and low-income communities that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. The program will utilize a team of clinicians, social workers, and care navigators to ensure comprehensive support, including mental health services. By improving access and reducing waiting times, the initiative seeks to provide timely evaluations and treatments for Long COVID patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are minoritized and low-income adults living in New York City who are experiencing symptoms of Long COVID.
Not a fit: Patients who do not reside in New York City or those who do not have Long COVID symptoms may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve health outcomes for underserved populations affected by Long COVID.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in integrating specialty care into primary care settings, particularly for chronic conditions, indicating a promising approach for Long COVID.
