COVID-19 Comprehensive Care Program: Diagnosis to Treatment
The Tri-State area has been one of the hardest hit in the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, an increasing number of people who became ill from the coronavirus continue to deal with issues surrounding their physical, mental and emotional health and quality of life. Sometimes referred to as “post-COVID syndrome” this is a very real health issue. And, it is treatable.

We are well-prepared to offer a full range of COVID-19 testing, therapy and recovery services. Our physicians and nurses gained significant experience treating COVID-19 patients this year.

Can a Post-COVID-19 Recovery Program Help Your Ongoing Recovery?
Growing evidence suggests that a COVID-19 infection can result in physical, mental and emotional symptoms that can linger long after an initial infection. We have established a multidisciplinary program that offers a path to a fuller recovery for those who have ongoing health issues from a COVID-19 infection.
Below are a few questions to help you decide if making an appointment for evaluation with the Post-COVID-19 Recovery Program may be helpful for you:
- Did you or someone close to you have a COVID-19 exposure, or test positive for COVID-19?
- Did you have any symptoms or become ill at that time?
- If yes, do you still have any symptoms or feel that you are not fully recovered physically or mentally?
- Do you have any other health conditions that you are concerned about following your COVID-19 infection?
- Have you seen a primary care doctor to see if you need follow-up care?
If you feel that you are having ongoing health issues during your recovery from a COVID-19 infection, our team is here to help you.
Our physicians will evaluate your condition and follow up with your regular doctor to coordinate your ongoing treatment and recovery plan. If you don’t already have a primary care physician, we can help you establish an ongoing relationship with one of our providers.
