In 2023, the AHRQ announced nine grant awards of $1 million each for up to 5 years to expand coordinated Long COVID care, focusing on underserved and disproportionately affected populations. UW Medicine’s COVID Aftercare Recovery and Support (CAReS) Program is among the funded initiatives.
The CAReS Program supports Long COVID Clinic patients with care coordination and case management. Our team—consisting of a Patient Care Coordinator, Patient Navigator, and Nurse Case Manager—works together to connect patients to resources, simplify care, and guide recovery.
