Description

PostICU, Inc is a new 501(c)3 nonprofit agency, part of our mission is to maintain the only library that is specifically built to house research, articles, videos, PowerPoints, books, etc about post intensive care syndrome ("PICS") website library, seePostICU's Library

 

COVID-19 patients, who survive following a stay in an intensive care unit often suffer from PICS. 

PostICU's Library allows us to meet our primary mission, which is to educate medical professionals and the public about PICS.

Sharing knowledge about PICS symptoms that are experienced by former ICU patients, helps medical professionals and people in general recognize whether they or loved ones may have PICS. 

Our library gets thousands of visitors weekly, including medical professionals worldwide. 

In this volunteer position, you will assist us with researching new media to add to our library and also to dig back into older content to research for any media that we are missing.

Since we have the only known PICS library, our work is important. However, we've created forms and training to make the work fun and interesting.
