Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people experiencing Long COVID is on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Long COVID causes a range of health issues that can affect people for months or even years beyond the initial infection. As cases rise, so too does the global population of people with disabilities. For both people who are newly disabled due to Long COVID and people who were already disabled and are now experiencing Long COVID, the long-term impacts are not yet well understood. Many people are continuing to encounter barriers to accurate diagnoses and proper care.

Join Ana Oliveira, President and CEO of The New York Women’s Foundation, for an important conversation about the implications of Long COVID for the disability community.
