Post-COVID-19 Care for Ongoing Recovery

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.

If you or a loved one are dealing with lingering symptoms after a known or suspected COVID-19 infection, the WMCHealth Post-COVID-19 Recovery Program may offer a path to a fuller recovery. The program is located in Hawthorne, NY – easily accessible to residents of the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Connecticut.

WMCHealth is well-prepared to offer post-COVID-19 recovery services. Our physicians and nurses gained significant experience treating COVID-19 patients. And, we were one of the first New York healthcare systems to launch both COVID-19 diagnostic and antibody testing.

COVID-19 Symptoms That Can Stick Around

The long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection can include symptoms such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Headache
  • Muscle weakness and joint pain
  • Impact to the heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells
  • Mental “fogginess,” confusion, anxiety, depression

High-Risk Conditions for COVID-19 Complications

While anyone who has had COVID-19 – regardless of age or severity of illness – is at risk for the longer-term effects, the risk appears to be higher for individuals that:

  • Have diabetes
  • Are obese
  • Have lung, heart, kidney, or liver disease
  • Have a compromised immune system
  • Are a resident of a nursing homes or long-term care facility
  • Were on a ventilator, experienced delirium, or developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) while hospitalized for a COVID-19 infection

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. WMCHealth has 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:

  1. Did you or someone close to you have a COVID-19 exposure, or test positive for COVID-19?
  2. Did you have any symptoms or become ill at that time?
  3. If yes, do you still have any symptoms or feel that you are not fully recovered physically or mentally?
  4. Do you have any other health conditions that you are concerned about following your COVID-19 infection?
  5. 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.
