Join us at the South Branch Library at 78 Lynn St. on Thursday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. for a presentation on Stroke Education, brought to us by the Mass General Brigham Salem Hospital and the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of New England.
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke*. A panel of experts will guide you through the journey of a stroke and its recovery. Learn the warning signs of a stroke and how to help prevent one from occurring by understanding the risk factors. We will also delve into the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s guidelines on stroke recovery and the recommendations for stroke rehabilitation. Light refreshments will be served.
