Interview: Salvatore Mattera on the Help for Long COVID review site, a "community Yelp" for Long COVID care
Episode Description
In this 2-way episode of Still Here: In spring 2025, Salvatore and Stephanie Mattera launched the new site Help for Long COVID, inspired by Salvatore’s challenges finding healthcare after he developed the disease. Salvatore talks with podcast co-host Betsy Ladyzhets about how the project — which he describes as a community Wikipedia-type database — came about, feedback they’ve received so far, his advice for people with Long COVID seeking healthcare, and more.
