Our Mission:
StrokeOT, Inc. is a team of healthcare professionals and volunteers who provide free and low-cost virtual and in-person rehabilitation classes focused on health, exercise, and lifestyle education to support stroke recovery. We strengthen the stroke care continuum by addressing service gaps for underserved stroke survivors. By building a supportive community, we help improve the quality of life for individuals facing healthcare and financial disparities.
Our Vision:
We envision that stroke and brain injury survivors experiencing healthcare disparities will have life-long support after hospital discharge. These disparities include health insurance and financial inequalities as well as lack of transportation.
