COVID Challenges – Maya

 

Maya describes herself as lucky to have had no issues with accessing care during COVID.

Transcript

I mean I think I’ve been pretty lucky to be in a stable place but most of my care has been fine over the phone. I have the same providers in person, and I have gone for a couple of follow up scans. I’ve done an exercise test just to make sure everything is good.
