Improving Long COVID Care
February 10th, 2026
This talk explores the opportunities and challenges to improving care for patients with Long Covid, particularly in federally qualified health center and community settings. We will discuss the design of the Long Covid Care REACH project, including establishing collaborative partnerships with community stakeholders, and share lessons learned on intervention design, implementation strategies, and site specific considerations. Drawing from qualitative data, this presentation also includes patient and clinician perspectives on experiences with Long Covid healthcare in the pre-intervention period.
