POST COVID-19 RESEARCH CLINIC
ABOUT
The Post COVID-19 Research Clinic is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between the Louisville community and the Center of Excellence for Research in Infectious Diseases at the University of Louisville’s Division of Infectious Diseases. The aim of this clinic is to define and evaluate the short- and long-term health consequences of COVID-19 for patients who have previously diagnosed with the infection.
The Post COVID-19 Research Clinic is a free clinic focusing on research to learn about the consequences of COVID-19 and does not provide treatment. No treatment or referrals will be provided at the COVID-19 research clinic. If there are any significant abnormal findings, you will be notified, and it will be up to you to seek medical advice or care from your primary care provider.
