Stroke Roundup Recap

Yee-Haw!

We extend grateful, heartfelt thanks to all who participated in the Stroke Resource Center’s recent amazing social, educational and musical Stroke Round-Up! Over 6O stroke survivors, caregivers, family members, community partners, University of Arizona College of Social and Behavioral Sciences volunteers and SRCSA Board members gathered for a day of celebrating our community connections, rodeo-style.
 
Special thanks to presenters Dr. Fabi Hirsch, Director of the Aphasia Center of Tucson, Kim, a nutrition expert at Tucson High, and the wonderful (and not at all dusty) Dust Devils, featuring Dr. Leslie Ritter, SRCSA Director, on bass.
 
Many thanks to Encompass Health for providing lunches and the UA College of Nursing for hosting us. Please continue to visit the SRCSA website for more event info and resources.
 
 
Til we meet again…y’all take care now!
