Stroke Resources
Our stroke resource center offers a wealth of stroke-related links that explore symptoms, diagnosis, and post-stroke recovery options and prognosis. Vetted by medical and rehabilitation professionals, you will find a wealth of information that will help you manage expectations during the recovery process for a stroke victim, as well as life after stroke. Stroke patients are especially vulnerable due to limited physical capabilities, often exacerbated by communication difficulties.
Our staff at HealthBridge are experts in the field and can support individuals and families through these challenges. Please browse the resource links below and connect with us at any time to learn more about our post-acute care facilities.
