COVID-19 Patient Management at Home and Hospital Today, an Essential Conversation



The treatment and management of COVID-19 patients is evolving rapidly. There is a global effort to discover novel treatments and test existing therapies that are safe and effective.

To date, the FDA has only granted a few Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for COVID-19 related treatments including: Remdesivir from Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ – GILD), convalescent plasma and gammaCore SapphireTM CV from electroCore, Inc. (NASDAQ – ECOR). More innovation is needed faster.

David Shulkin, MD, 9th Secretary of Veterans Affairs, will moderate a 45 minute Essential Conversation on COVID-19 therapeutics and management of the virus with patients at home and in the hospital with medical leaders on the front line of the fight against COVID-19. Q&A with participants will follow.

 

We look forward to your participation and approaches to improving COVID19 patient care.
