The lingering effects of COVID-19 can be alarming for patients, some of whom are still dealing with shortness of breath, brain fog or other symptoms for weeks, months, or longer after recovering from the virus. Ankita Sagar, MD, is the director of Northwell's COVID Ambulatory Resource Support (CARES) program, which offers its patients, currently more than 4,000, everything they may need to safely and comfortably recover. She joins David Battinelli, MD, chief medical officer, to discuss Northwell's unique approach and the latest research being done on post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.
