Improving Long COVID care for underserved adults in New York City

Who could benefit from this research

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.
