Join us at the South Branch Library on Thursday, May 16 at 6:30PM 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 take 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 knowing the risk factors. We will also discuss the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s guidelines on stroke recovery and the recommendation for stroke rehabilitation. Light refreshments will be served.
