Emory physicians have established post-COVID clinics to provide follow-up care for people who have recovered from their acute illnesses, yet continue to experience persistent symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic pain, dizziness and neuromuscular weakness. Researchers plan to investigate the origin of “long haul COVID”, which can take a variety of forms.
The co-directors of the Emory Executive Park post-COVID clinic are Alex Truong, MD, MPH and Adviteeya Dixit, MD. Truong and Dixit started their post-COVID clinic in the fall of 2020, after seeing the need among patients who had been ill.
They have been expanding the clinic’s schedule, working to recruit additional physicians, and collaborating with other researchers to better understand the mechanisms behind long haul COVID.
