Our Response to COVID-19
The Charles Lazarus Children’s Abilities Center appreciates the need for COVID-19 services for children with mobility issues. To this end, we have developed two programs.
Post-Acute COVID-19 Program
The medical community has begun to acknowledge a subgroup of patients presenting with "long COVID" or persistent symptoms after an initial COVID-19 infection. The team at the Mount Sinai Health System was among the first in the world to identify this novel symptom presentation and name it post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, or PACS. To address the needs of individuals experiencing PACS, the Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance, along with Mount Sinai’s Center for Post-COVID Care, has developed a novel rehabilitation program. We are one of very few centers in the country providing these services to patients of all ages. To learn more about this program, please email us at PRcovid@mountsinai.org.
