Rebecca Boersma

Rebecca works as a speech-language pathologist at George Washington University Hospital in the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center in Washington, DC. Rebecca focuses on person-centered, functional approaches for neurogenic disorders and treats patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, neuromuscular diseases, and long COVID. Rebecca first began working with patients with COVID-19 in acute care in 2020 and has since helped launch the Post-COVID-19 Outpatient Rehab Recovery Clinic to serve individuals with persistent cognitive, voice, and swallowing difficulties post COVID-19. Rebecca has presented multiple times on the SLP’s role in post-COVID care, including presentations through ASHA and the American Physical Therapy Association. She currently is the program lead for the long-COVID rehab clinic at George Washington University Hospital and is motivated to both learn and share about this novel long-COVID population.
