Attendees also can share their experiences and receive encouragement and advice.

The sessions are free and open to stroke survivors, their caregivers, family and friends, and residents wanting to learn more about the condition.

The first stroke support group will take place Wednesday, December 11 at 6 p.m. in the hospital’s Shipley Classroom.

Registration is required. For more information or to register, please call 410-871-7000.
