The 7th Ottawa Stroke Summit, organized by the Champlain Regional Stroke Network on September 27, 2024, offered an invaluable platform for stroke care professionals to gather and enhance their expertise and practices in stroke management. Under the theme “Navigating the Stroke Journey: Insights and Strategies for Comprehensive Stroke Care,” the summit concentrated on disseminating strategies, resources, and practical experiences aimed at improving the quality of care for persons living with stroke.
Supported by the Ottawa University Department of Continuing Professional Development, this accredited event represented the largest regional assembly of stroke care providers in the Champlain region. It encompassed participants from regional, provincial, and national levels, all dedicated to improving stroke treatment, recovery, and support for affected individuals.
