First Annual Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Symposium a Success!

Jun 27, 2007

The response was overwhelmingly positive to our Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Symposium on May 19 in the Greentree Holiday Inn. This was the first symposium of its kind in Pittsburgh to be targeted not to medical professionals, but to the stroke survivors and caregivers themselves. The speakers included some of the top experts on stroke in Allegheny County, and were extremely informative. Our sponsors and vendors included:

• Highmark
• Hanger Orthotics and Prosthetics
• UPMC Stroke Institute
• Solutions for Accessible Living
• Sanofi-Aventis
• Merck & Co.
• Medtronic
• Home Instead Senior Care
• HealthSouth
• Genentech
• Allegheny General Hospital
• The Woodlands Foundation
• UPMC South Side Hospital
• Advance Staffing

Thanks to all involved for making the day a learning experience for all of the attendees. Keep an eye out for another symposium in May 2008!
