You have likely heard about lingering symptoms from the virus, which some people experience even after they recover. These can be referred to as long COVID, long haulers or post-COVID symptoms. If you had COVID-19 previously, this might apply to you.<br \/>\n<P>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen a lot of people who were never hospitalized who continue to be affected by COVID-19,&#8221; said John Dickinson, MD, PhD, a pulmonologist who is researching the lasting effects of COVID-19. &#8220;It may not be related to how sick you are initially.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P>To understand the breadth and depth of post-COVID, Nebraska Medicine will open a multidisciplinary clinic for patients who need to be seen for on-going symptoms following COVID-19 illnesses.<br \/>\n<P>&#8220;The clinic is designed to connect patients with a variety of specialists who will collaborate for their care,&#8221; Dr. Dickinson said. &#8220;This includes pulmonary, neurology, cardiology, psychiatry and psychology, rheumatology, allergy and infectious disease experts. We will also be working with anesthesia to complete preoperative assessments for patients ahead of scheduled procedures.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P>The Post-COVID Clinic will be open to UNMC and Nebraska Medicine colleagues and immediate family members first, before expanding to include additional patients.<br \/>\n<P>&#8220;It is really important for our employees&#8217; health and wellness to offer this service to them first,&#8221; said Kelly Cawcutt, MD, an infectious diseases and critical care physician.<br \/>\n<P>Drs. Cawcutt and Dickinson are collaborating with physicians from a variety of specialties to open the clinic and conduct research. Other leaders include, but are not limited to, Andy Vasey, MD, internal medicine; Daniel Anderson, MD, cardiology; Howard Fox, MD, PhD, neurological sciences; Sam Bierner, MD, physical medicine and rehabilitation; and David Warren, PhD, neurological sciences.<br \/>\n<P>Their goal is to understand the impact of long-term symptoms of COVID-19 infections in people who have recovered from the initial illness, including how often symptoms occur and how severe they are. Initial appointments will be held with the primary care medicine team led by Dr. Vasey, with the majority of first visits completed through telehealth.<br \/>\n<P><b><a href=\"https:\/\/unmcredcap.unmc.edu\/redcap\/surveys\/?s=RCNHLRHX8H\">If you or a family member have recovered from COVID-19, you are asked to complete this brief survey.<\/a><\/b> It will ask about your current health following your COVID-19 illness. You . You also will, via the survey, be able to request an appointment at the Post-COVID Clinic.<br \/>\n<P>&#8220;We know that Nebraska Medicine and the health care community in general will be caring for COVID-19 patients for years to come,&#8221; Dr. Cawcutt said. &#8220;This clinic will not only provide personalized treatment for people who are still affected by the virus, but also help us understand how it affects them long term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC and Nebraska Medicine colleagues and families will receive first
