Send us a text Congressional support for Long Covid research influences all of us, but can be hard to understand. I researched so you don't have to, and in this episode I tell you what I've learned. On January 18, 2024 the US Senate HELP Committee held a hearing "Addressing Long Covid: Advancing Research and Improving Patient Care."
