Dr. Howard Lebowitz of the Long-Term Acute Care (LTAC) Specialty Hospital of Central Jersey Experiences Massive Success Treating COVID-19 Patients

When coronavirus hit New Jersey the hardest, the Long-Term Acute Care (LTAC) Specialty Hospital of Central Jersey hit back harder. Led by Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Howard Lebowitz, the hospital maintained its excellent reputation for their respiratory program. LTAC is known for successfully weaning respiratory patients from ventilator dependence, allowing them to achieve their highest level of functioning.

NJ Top Doc, Howard Lebowitz, M.D. stated, “We were in the eye of the COVID-19 storm in NJ, when we began to receive patient transfer requests from numerous hospitals. Our team here quickly adjusted to the volume of COVID-19 patients from our state of New Jersey, as well as New York (NYC and Long Island), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and Connecticut.”  

Many patients arrived in critical condition and on ventilator support, yet the average patient stay was just 20 days before successfully returning home. 

Dr. Lebowitz added, “I cannot be prouder of the way our team of medical professionals rallied around each patient, providing individualized critical care. We care for each patient as we would our own family member, and our recovery success speaks to that. We have thankfully been enjoying the daily celebrations of sending our COVID-19 patients home!” 

Among Dr. Lebowitz’s success stories is of a young father whose baby was born while he was on the ventilator recovering from COVID-19. It was a glorious day at the hospital when the father was able to meet his infant daughter for the first time as he walked out of Dr. Lebowitz’s hospital.
