In 2024, our Stroke Navigators supported 150 patients across New Brunswick in their transition back into the community after experiencing a stroke. Among them was Dave MacIntosh, who was referred to our program.
After his stroke, Dave spent a week in the hospital before beginning rehabilitation, working closely with occupational and physical therapy staff to regain lost motor skills.
Once home, it became clear his lifestyle needed adjustments to help prevent future strokes. Dave collaborated with our Stroke Navigator, Lisa, to develop practical solutions and set recovery goals.
“I got a lot out of the stroke navigation program and would recommend it to anyone who’s experienced a stroke,” Dave shared.
While the effects of his stroke remain, Dave’s positive mindset and determination continue to guide his recovery.
In 2025, the Stroke Navigation program aims to support even more stroke patients like Dave, helping them set recovery goals and connect with vital community resources and services.
