In early April, Alberto Esquenazi, MD, chief medical officer at MossRehab, began discussions with colleagues in Italy, South Korea and Japan to explore the impact of COVID-19 on rehabilitation institutions around the globe. Through these conversations, Dr. Esquenazi discovered a significant need for acute inpatient rehabilitation for patients recovering from COVID-19.
To help prepare for the inevitable surge of patients requiring this specialized care, Dr. Esquenazi preemptively set up a COVID-19 + Rehab (CORE+) Unit at MossRehab's Elkins Park campus. Since opening in mid-April, the 12-bed unit has been at capacity and continues to admit patients regularly.
Dr. Esquenazi was recently interviewed for MossRehab Conversations about the CORE+ Unit.
