June is stroke month in Canada. You can’t reason with a stroke. The instant you recognize any of the signs, call 9-1-1 FAST. Do not drive to the hospital. An ambulance will drive you to the closest hospital that provides urgent stroke care.

Lifesaving treatment begins the second you call 9-1-1.

NEW - Understanding Stroke & TIA: this new resource can help you learn more about stroke and mini-stroke, find tips about living well after stroke, and help you find support services in the community.

The Champlain Community Post-Stroke Exercise Program has expanded to include in-person classes in Ottawa.  See the flyer for more information including locations and times. Virtual classes will continue.

We launched a newsletter in December. Designed for stroke survivors and their care partners, it includes practical tips, inspiring stories, and helpful resources to support your recovery. Click the button to the right to sign up!
