I would like to extend my humble gratitude to Senator Kaine and colleagues for advocating for the AHRQ Long COVID Initiative.
I have been dealing with my own long COVID issue for almost 4 years. It is mild, thank goodness.
Doing a hearing like this has a way of sending a message that people are believed.
I really appreciate the witnesses being here. You know, it is--I think it is an honor to testify before the U.S. Senate.
This is a 5-year effort that supports essential infrastructure to expand person centered long COVID care across the U.S.
I so appreciate this hearing.
We decided the three of us to talk about our experiences so that people would understand they're being believed.
After the pandemic ends, long COVID still needs Congressional attention
Long COVID is disproportionately affecting people of color. Long COVID is disproportionately affecting women.
