8th Annual Stroke Garden Party Reunites Those Affected by Stroke

On June 24, the 8th Annual Stroke Garden Party was held by the riverfront at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA). Stroke Survivors and their families joined staff and volunteers from CKHA to celebrate their successes and share stories.

This year the theme was “Back in the Saddle” and Terry Jenkins from TJ Stables and founder of the Acceptional Riders Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program was there along with her husband and horses Freedom and Puddin’.

One of the many highlights of the day was when Colin Patey, CKHA’s President and CEO noted that the Alliance’s integrated stroke unit has been recognized as the best performer in Ontario for the highest percentage of admitted stroke patients being treated in a specialized stroke unit. He went on to say “it’s a major achievement for the Alliance and staff associated with the integrated stroke unit”.
