Experts discuss post-COVID-19 recovery providing valuable recovery information for “long-haulers.” Saint Barnabas Medical Center and RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group have created a Post-COVID-19 Recovery program, Post-COVID CARE (Comprehensive Assessment, Recovery and Evaluation). While many recover from COVID-19, there is a subset, predicted to be as large as 10% of those diagnosed with COVID-19, whose symptoms interfere with their ability to recover and return to their prior life and activities. Under the leadership of Medical Director Vanessa Trespalacios, MD, an RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group internal medicine physician, and with a multidisciplinary team of physicians, this COVID-19 recovery program uses the latest information available to assist patients with COVID-19 recovery. Our patient navigator serves as a single point of contact to help patients from their initial calls throughout treatment and into COVID-19 recovery. For more information call 1-888-COVID94.
