What is beyond the weekly online Group Meetups?
At this time, Long COVID is a constellation of symptoms that requires an individual approach to management. In the Long COVID group we will provide you with most up-to-date information, skills and support of the community. If you decide to become our patient, at GWCIM we provide comprehensive whole person intake and then meet with each individual patient to create a care plan. We will ease symptoms by treating the complexity of this disease with a multitude of evidence based approaches. They may include: medication management, supplementation, including IV Vitamins, diagnostic testing, acupuncture, dietary counseling, PT, OT, and speech/cognitive therapy. GW CIM’s Long COVID Program is looking forward to supporting and working with you to achieve your goals.
Long Covid Program Team
Ashley Drapeau PA-C, L.Ac along with Sharon Democker, MD, Mikhail Kogan, MD, Angela Gabriel, L.Ac., Tiffany Hoyt, DAOM, Nina Paul and others are pioneering a program to provide healing for patients with Long COVID. In particular, Ashley is passionate about this clinic as she has suffered from long COVID herself. As a medical practitioner for over a decade, she was shocked at the lack of treatment options, research, and collaboration that conventional medicine has to offer. She wishes to share her knowledge, skills, and experience with patients to help alleviate their suffering and position them towards recovery.
GWCIM Long COVID Program operates in close collaboration with GW Medical Faculty Associates (GWMFA). While GWMFA specialized Long COVID clinic is closing its doors due to lack of insurance reimbursements we will continue to work closely with the following GW Departments and Centers:
