Dr. Steven Flanagan: AAPM&R Members Push Long COVID Call to Action Forward

Feb 21, 2022, 17:28 PM by Grace Whittington

Last March, we officially called on President Biden and Congress to prepare and implement a comprehensive national plan focused on the needs of millions of individuals suffering from the long-term symptoms of COVID-19, also known as Long COVID or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Our efforts are focused on ensuring patients receive the care they need while also communicating the value of PM&R in rehabilitation care aligned with the Academy’s mission and vision. To that end, we have pushed several efforts forward and are working to ensure our member leaders have been consistently featured in front of key decision makers in various news outlets. Take a look at some arenas where your peers are spotlighted:

Steven Flanagan, MD, FAAPMR, chair of rehabilitation medicine at New York University Grossman School of Medicine, medical director of Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU-Langone Health and President-Elect of AAPM&R

He was interviewed for this Medscape article, "Long COVID: More Clues Coming, but No 'Aha' Moments Yet" where he discussed our PASC dashboard and our national call to action.
He was interviewed for this MedPage Today article, "These Physicians Are on the Long-COVID Front Lines" where he discussed the Academy’s Long COVID efforts, dashboard, fatigue guidance statement and more about why PM&R physicians are instrumental in creating rehabilitation programs for Long COVID patients.
