The Mount Sinai Hospital’s Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance has announced the inauguration of the Cohen Center for Recovery From Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

The facility is dedicated to treating patients with long-term conditions, such as Lyme disease, long Covid, and other infection-associated illnesses, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFC) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

The CoRE involves an investment of $10m and was established through philanthropic efforts, including contributions from Beth and Joshua Nash and a naming gift from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.

CoRE Nash Family director David Putrino said, “Our centre will be one of the few places in the world embedded in a major clinical institution that’s able to provide outstanding care management, as well as leading-edge research focused on biological discovery.

“A crucial part of our process is that our clinicians, patients, and researchers are in constant contact and communication. This is how we plan to foster the innovative and rapid work that will drive discovery and cures for people who need solutions today.”

It features HEPA filters and far-UV light technology for infection prevention, addressing the concerns of patients with autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Patients will receive specialised rehabilitation, including autonomic rehabilitation, provided by a skilled physical therapy team.

In addition, innovative, non-pharmacological therapies for chronic pain, such as virtual reality and transcranial magnetic stimulation, will be available at the centre.

The CoRE is also initiating research programmes to better understand conditions like long Covid and Lyme disease.

It will conduct clinical trials in partnership with the PolyBio Research Foundation. These trials include testing antiviral medications for long Covid treatment and investigating lumbrokinase’s potential to dissolve microclots in blood, which may alleviate symptom severity in patients with long Covid or ME/CFS.

In addition, the centre will explore novel therapies, including the role of natural supplements in the repurposing of existing antimicrobial medications to treat evidence of persistent infections occurring in people with long Covid and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

Earlier this month, Mount Sinai unveiled a new surgery centre in New York.
