Skyline Medical Center Offers Monthly Stroke Support Group

January 27th, 2010 - Skyline Medical Center’s Monthly Stroke Support Group is for stroke survivors and their family members, friends and others. It helps people learn more about stroke, share their experiences about stroke, and become inspired to move forward after their stroke.

“A stroke can be very isolating. By meeting regularly, members help one another face and overcome common challenges by sharing experiences and encouraging one another,” says Skyline Medical Center’s Director of Rehabilitation Services Robert Serro, M.D. “A stroke support group can be a place for stroke survivors and caregivers to make friends, socialize, gain realistic feedback, help others and find meaning in life.”

The free meetings are held the first Monday of every month from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Skyline Madison Campus in Gant Hall on the ground level located at 500 Hospital Drive, Madison, TN  37115.  Refreshments are provided.  Please register by calling TriStar MedLine at 615-342-1919.
