COVID-19 Induced Strokes & Other “Long-Hauler” Neurological Side Effects
Nationwide, thousands of people are experiencing strokes following a COVID-19 infection –especially younger people who don’t typically experience strokes. The experts in the Comprehensive Stroke Center at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center have learned to care for these patients and help reduce the inflammation of the brain and other “long-hauler” symptoms caused by COVID-19.
