The March of Dimes Canada’s After Stroke program is expanding to Clarenville.
The program provides information and support to stroke patients to help with their recovery.
Volunteer Engagement Coordinator with the March of Dimes, Mackenzie Kirby, says they’re pleased to extend the program beyond the capital city area.
She says a lot of stroke patients feel overwhelmed and often feel like others fully understand what they are experiencing. “So having those people that have been through similar things and are going through similar things really helps them feel less isolated and less alone,” says Kirby.
Those interested in finding out more can attend the program’s inaugural meeting this Monday at 2:00 at Total Care Nursing on Coish Place in Clarenville.
