I advocate for Long COVID awareness because it is one of the most significant and underrecognized public health crises of our time. An estimated 1 in 5 Americans who’ve had COVID-19 experience lasting health consequences, including vascular dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and immune dysregulation, yet access to care, research funding, and public awareness remain inadequate.
