While rooted in pulmonary health from the beginning, Will Rogers Institute Fellowship hospitals have shifted their focus over the last two years to research the effects of COVID-19, including long COIVD. Lingering symptoms can include fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath and severe headaches.

According to Edward D. Crandall, PhD, MD, Director, Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center at the University of Southern California, "While it’s unclear how large a problem it will turn out to be as a sustained health threat, Long COVID needs to be studied and especially managed as a public and population health risk."

Long COVID illnesses contributed to 4,055 deaths in the U.S. through the end of June 2022, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Long COVID refers to any of more than two dozens symptoms that linger, recur or first appear at least one month after a coronavirus infection. These can affect all parts of the body and may include fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog and blood clots.

Coronavirus vaccines that help prevent initial infections and serious illnesses provide some protection against long COVID but mounting research shows not as much as scientists had first hoped.

New U.S. research on long COVID-19 provides fresh evidence that it can happen even after breakthrough infections in vaccinated people, and that older adults face higher risks for the long-term effects.

The city of Saranac Lake NY has been designated as an historical landmark. Saranac is the home of the once Will Rogers Hospital.

Since 1983, dozens of buildings, homes and facilities in Saranac Lake have been deemed historic for a variety of reasons.
