Goals
Stroke is the third largest cause of death in Canada, and the leading cause of adult disability. After Stroke is necessary because stroke is, by its very nature, socially isolating. After a stroke, survivors are often cut off from the world of work, recreation and fellowship by permanent physical and mental disabilities. Stroke Recovery Burlington provides a community of support and friendship, helping to rebuild lives changed forever.
