The covidCAREgroup was founded to address the global needs of the millions of people experiencing Long COVID.  We are connecting the dots of Long COVID through education, research and resources for those experiencing long-term, chronic medical and neurological sequelae of the virus. 

Our mission is to increase awareness of long COVID and to support the long COVID community as sufferers recapture their medical, social, and psychological health.  Our global community includes medical professionals and community members from every country in the world.  We strive to raise awareness of Long COVID through collaboration to ensure updated information about post COVID syndrome is disseminated. 

The covidCAREgroup hosts the largest clinical support group on social media in the world. In 2023, our global reach exceeded 24+ million people in 110 countries, all striving for Long COVID symptom management and recovery as they adapt to their “new norm”.

Emerging research indicates that early intervention decreases the risks of the development and severity of Long COVID.  The covidCAREgroup's clinical team has identified the key benchmark of 3-12 weeks for early intervention with medication protocols and behavioral modification to prevent long term and permanently disabling sequelae, however, we have observed a major barrier to identifying Long COVID early enough to hit this benchmark due to lack of awareness in the public and the medical community.  Other barriers to recovery may include the loss of employment, reduced income, and loss of medical insurance.

Our goal is to increase accessibility to information, services, and products focused on health and wellness for the community. This includes services like diagnostic testing/imaging, nutrition, and home medical equipment (DME) that may help the long COVID community members recover their strength or adapt to their new norm.

Our resources are screened for validity, and our information is supported by evidence-based research and clinical oversight. Our research page hosts groundbreaking independent and collaborative Long COVID research including clinical trials for Long COVID treatments with clinicaltrials.gov., and partnerships with universities worldwide.
