Edward-Elmhurst Health Post-COVID Neuro Care Clinic
Neurological Long-Term Recovery
Edward-Elmhurst Health has established a Post-COVID Neuro Care Clinic to support the recovery of people experiencing long-term health effects of COVID-19. The goal of the Clinic is to help ease or resolve post-COVID neurological symptoms so that patients can put COVID-19 behind them and move forward with life.
The clinic is staffed by a team of neurology experts at Edward Hospital in Naperville and Elmhurst Hospital. Treatment will vary and may consist of medications, supportive therapies, lifestyle recommendations and referrals to other specialists, including cardiologists, dietitians, gastroenterologists, nephrologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, pulmonologists and others.
When you schedule an appointment at the Post-COVID Neuro Care Clinic, you’ll be asked to complete an online assessment questionnaire prior to your visit. Your responses will help the Clinic better understand your neurologic symptoms and COVID-19 recovery. The Clinic also recommends you keep a diary of your symptoms, including when symptoms occur and how you felt, as well as what makes symptoms better or worse. Bring this information with you to your appointment as well as your current medications, including the dose and frequency.
When you first come to the Clinic, you’ll receive a full evaluation by a multidisciplinary team of neurology experts. The team will:
Spend time talking with you, ask further questions about your COVID-19 diagnosis, and review your symptom diary (if you have one).
Complete a physical and cognitive exam to guide treatment recommendations.
Possibly recommend diagnostic testing to provide more insight into your symptoms, assist with diagnosis and rule out other conditions.
Once the Clinic’s neurology team conducts a full evaluation, they’ll recommend a treatment plan. Your individualized treatment plan may include medications, supportive therapies and lifestyle recommendations. The team may also refer you to other specialists, such as pulmonologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, rehabilitation therapists, behavioral health therapists and nutritionists, to ensure you receive comprehensive care for every aspect of your recovery.
To make an appointment:
For patients: Call (630) 527-7730, choose option 1 and mention the Post-COVID Neuro Care Clinic. Scheduling is also available through MyChart.

Team Rehabilitation Post COVID-19 Recovery Program
Rehab and Physical Therapy
Team Rehabilitation has developed a Post COVID-19 Recovery Program to assist all patients affected by COVID-19 with their recovery and allow them to return to work and daily living. The Program is designed to help patients, using medically supervised therapy, so they may regain strength, respiratory function and resume normal lifestyle.
Throughout the therapy sessions, a patient’s heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure are carefully monitored and that data is used to maintain a safe and effective recovery program.
Evaluation includes assessment of strength, flexibility, respiratory muscle function, and activity tolerance, using a Rate of Perceived Exertion scale. Standardized functional tests are performed while monitoring vital signs.
The program may include core, upper body and lower body strengthening exercises, a cardiovascular conditioning program, and stretching as indicated. Initially these sessions in the clinic may not be long, based on patient activity tolerance. The patient’s vital signs are monitored, and exercise is performed within target heart rates, while monitoring oxygen saturation levels.
It is important to string together frequent, short bouts of exercise early on to improve activity tolerance, which means the patient needs to be doing these activities multiple times per day. Patients will be provided with a home exercise program and a pulse oximeter for home use, and instructed how to safely monitor their own response to the exercises. As the patient grows stronger, the intensity and duration of exercise increases, for both strengthening and endurance. Supervised exercise time will increase.
If a patient is looking to return to work and is able to perform activities of daily living fairly well, they can be transitioned to a Work Reconditioning Program tailored to their needs, with input from their employer. At this point they will spend several hours in the clinic performing a variety of work simulation tasks, strengthening exercises, and cardiovascular activities.
The Post COVID-19 Recovery Program can be started in the home via TeleRehab and moved into the clinic at the appropriate time for more advanced activities. A patient’s therapy will be monitored closely in the home setting, via pulse oximeter device, and measured by a Physical Therapist. Our staff is fully qualified to anticipate potential over-stressing situations and will make adjustments to therapy during these monitored sessions to yield the best results for each patient.
To make an appointment: To qualify for Team Rehab’s Post Covid Recovery Program, you’ll need a referral from a Physician, Case Manager or Adjustor. If you are interested in speaking with a member of Team Rehab on how you can begin therapy, please request an appointment online. Your request will be directed to a clinic near your location and a representative from the clinic will contact you.
