Northern Berkshire Healthcare’s Stroke Support Group will meet
10:04AM / Friday, September 05, 2008
NORTH ADAMS - Northern Berkshire Healthcare’s Stroke Support Group will meet Thursday, September 11, 2008. The group will meet at the VNA & Hospice of Northern Berkshire’s Community Room from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. A light lunch will be served. The group is open to those who are recovering from a stroke, family members and caregivers of stroke patients.
Corinne Case, M. Ed., a licensed mental health counselor, is the Stroke Support Group Facilitator. Ms. Case has gravitated toward the VNA & Hospice as her interests lie in elder care. She became interested in the Support Group Facilitator position because it will allow her to utilize her compassion, hopefulness and a willingness to help those who have suffered from a stroke or are a caregiver or family member.
The first half of the Sept. 11 meeting will allow stroke patients, family members and caregivers a chance to talk about the issues they feel are the most important to them. It will also give group members a chance to network with others who may have gone through similar experiences, and allow time for caring and sharing.
The second part will focus on signs and symptoms of stroke. Dr. Paul Donovan, Medical Director of North Adams Regional Hospital’s Emergency Department and an advocate of the stroke program, will discuss signs of a stroke, as well as answer any questions from the group. Community members are invited to the meeting.
