Recover from COVID-19

The SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) is a health crises with long-lasting consequences. To date more than 100 million people have recovered from COVID-19 infections, but many will have long term respiratory complications.

There is a growing population of COVID-19 patients with prolonged post-acute symptoms, a syndrome described as “long COVID” that presents with a variety of chronic health issues that include impaired lung function, reduced exercise capacity and diminished quality of life.

Frequently patients continue to have shortness of breath and fatigue months after their initial diagnosis of COVID-19. We can provide essential diagnostic testing to monitor your lung function.
