What is Kaweah Health Stroke Support Group?
A stroke can be devastating to the patient as well as family and friends. The Kaweah Health Stroke Support Group brings together stroke survivors and their families in an atmosphere of caring and sharing to assist in recovery. Education about life after stroke, including helpful hints and coping skills is included.
