Charles Louis Hours: Mondays and Fridays, 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. MT
I understand the un-understandable (I don't think that is a word!). When the survivor or caregiver finds out that I am a stroke survivor, the conversation changes, because even though I don't know them, I know them. I love that!
Devorah Hershkovich Hours: Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. MT
I love to listen! I'm here to help with resources and directing you to forms of support. I have volunteered on another hotline and have had family members experience a stroke. Whether stroke has affected you, a family member, a client, or a friend, call in to gain more information. You don't have to be alone, and we can help you with any fears and concerns you might be experiencing.
For over 30 years we have been the trusted source for free resources and education to the stroke community. Together, we empower survivors and their circle of care to thrive after stroke. Make your tax-deductible donation today to support the growing needs of the stroke community.
