Here is the official release:
Wayne State University Physician Group has launched a virtual clinic to care for people diagnosed with COVID-19 who are in isolation at home, or require follow-up care after hospitalization.
Pioneered by Internal Medicine specialists affiliated with WSUPG and the Wayne State School of Medicine, the clinic provides quick access to a physician through a variety of telehealth platforms (telephone, digital or audit-video), with expedited referral to WSUPG’s network of specialists, should it become necessary.
“COVID-19 patients discharged from the hospital, emergency department or those well enough to stay home in medical isolation, have many questions on topics such as the risk of contagion amongst their families, what protective measures to take, and how and when they can ease their way back into the community,” said Aris Urbanes, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, WSUPG. “This clinic helps to make sure their recovery is on the right path and is not deteriorating, and guides them on when to seek a more acute level of care in the hospital or with a specialist.”
The clinic also serves those who have COVID-19 symptoms and are waiting for test results with concerns about their health status and protective measures.
To learn more about the clinic, or to make a telehealth appointment, call the WSUPG Call Center at 313-745-4525 and ask to schedule an appointment with the COVID Care Clinic. Most appointments are scheduled the same day or next day.
The clinic accepts both physician referral and self-referral patients. Those referred by a physician will be referred back to their primary care physician when COVID care is complete.
