METRO DETROIT — Recovering from COVID-19 can be a long process, and health care officials are seeing a new need to support people through it.
Henry Ford Health System has established a specialty clinic to treat COVID-19 and other patients who have lingering cognitive, emotional and mental health conditions after being hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
Henry Ford’s Post ICU Brain Health Clinic recently opened at its neuropsychology centers in West Bloomfield and Detroit.
Clinic staff conduct evaluations, make recommendations for treatment and provide resources for people 55 and older who have been hospitalized in the ICU in the past year and continue to experience cognitive, behavioral or psychiatric symptoms.
