WELCOME

Welcome to the first ever Low Country Stroke Support Group Newsletter!

We are excited to announce that the Low Country of South Carolina has another stroke support group dedicated to building relationships between stroke survivors and their care givers, families, and friends.

During our first meeting, the group discussed what some priorities should be for the group when we meet. Several great ideas were discussed including a desire to focus on social connections, education, and life and pleasure enhancing resources for stroke survivors.

If you are a stroke survivor, or know someone who is walking the stroke survivor path, please be encouraged and come to one of our meetings. We hope you’ll find it uplifting, enlightening, and supportive.

For more information, please do not hesitate to contact one of the leaders listed below.

Hope to see you soon..
