experts will share advice that may help
Long Covid patients access disability benefits.
Dr. Ric Arseneau is a specialist in internal medicine with expertise in Long Covid, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and other conditions, a clinical professor at the University of British Columbia, and co-founder of the BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia.

Through its Advocacy Access Program, the organization provides support, information, and assistance with provincial (B.C.) and federal disability benefits — expertise they will share during the webinar.
Hosted by Long Covid Committee Co-Chair Adriana Patino, who has knowledge of benefits provided by insurance companies through employers.
