COVID-19 and Long-Term Care: Insights from The Addiction Connection
“We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.”
How has the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped long-term care facilities? Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine step away from their usual addiction-focused discussions to tackle this pressing issue in a special episode of 'The Addiction Connection'. The episode brings in Senator Tina Smith, who sheds light on federal measures to combat the virus, and Karen Martin from MDH, who outlines state plans for managing outbreaks in care facilities.
Expect a deep dive into best practices for housing COVID-19 patients, the critical role of personal protective equipment, and the glaring healthcare inequities laid bare by the pandemic. The hosts wrap up with a look at the latest research and internet search trends related to COVID-19. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the evolving landscape of healthcare during these challenging times.
