Gary Blevins, Post-COVID Clinic Patient

Even as a former police officer, COVID-19 was as close to death as he’s come

Gary: After spending six days in the hospital with COVID, I knew I would still need care after I was discharged. I had respiratory, pulmonary, and renal problems. I called Summa Health, and they told me that they had a post-COVID care program, which is exactly what I needed.

But one of the biggest things is they get you in quick, you see the doctor, they give you the diagnostics, they schedule everything right there in the office. Then there's the follow-up. Summa's Post-COVID Clinic is like a well-oiled machine. Their goal was to get me back to me. And I put in the work, and I'm back to about 97%.

As a retired police officer, I have experienced a lot of things, but having COVID-19 is as close to death as I have ever come, I am particularly thankful for the Post-COVID Clinic and Summa Health.
