Meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of every month in The Valley Hospital Board Room (first floor, near Kurth Cottage) from 5:30-7 p.m.

The support group offers a place everyone affected can discuss life issues after stroke and learn from each other how to move forward with new abilities. 

The group is coordinated by a licensed medical social worker and provides: 

  • A comfortable place to share challenges, triumphs and personal experiences.
  • Educational lectures from guest speakers, including neurologists, registered dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, and other members of The Valley Hospital medical staff.
  • Social gatherings
  • Holiday parties
  • A forum to share hints and tips for living a quality life after stroke. 

New members are always welcome. Meetings are free, but people are asked to register for a monthly invitation and newsletter by calling 201-447-8000, ext. 2263.
