Almost five years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the battle against the infectious disease continues and Falk College alumna Janelle Linton is on the front lines of Long COVID research.
Linton, who received her bachelor’s degree in public health from Falk in 2014, is a public health professional and the Assistant Program Director of Community Engagement for NYU Langone Health. Linton is an integral member of the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) initiative that was started by the National Institutes of Health in 2021, and she collaborated with patients, community members, caregivers, and researchers to develop an informational series called Discover RECOVER that presents RECOVER findings in simple, accessible language for the public.
Linton, who received her master’s degree in public health from New York University, recently appeared on a Member Spotlight Podcast with the Dulye Leadership Experience (DLE). In an interview with DLE Creative Coordinator and Syracuse University alum Jason McGill, Linton clarifies facts about Long COVID, discusses the challenges of keeping a remote team connected, and offers advice for pursuing a career in health care.
