“For the hundreds of Long Islanders who do survive a stroke, it’s a struggle to recover from its debilitating impact,” said Eileen Conlon, RN, Stroke Program Coordinator, Stony Brook University Cerebrovascular and Stroke Center. “Stony Brook’s Stroke Support Group, which is facilitated by a stroke survivor, can help.”
