Weill Cornell Medicine takes a holistic approach to care after the ICU through its Post-ICU Recovery Clinic. The Clinic’s expert, critical-care trained physicians, social workers, dietitians, clinical pharmacists and psychologists will work with each patient to evaluate their physical, emotional and cognitive needs. In addition to a thorough medical exam, basic pulmonary and strength testing, they screen for anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and PTSD. They also ensure patients are taking the right medicines, have all the equipment they need at home and are referred to appropriate specialists, including physical therapy, acupuncture and mental health services.
