Hi VCoP members,
I’m starting a discussion thread here were we can pool our online resources for persons living with stroke and care providers to continue living with stroke as best as possible in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please respond with any resources that you have come across as well!
Stay well,
– Lauren
