Specialized rehabilitation for young stroke survivors 

The Young Stroke Program at our rehabilitation center is designed to address the unique needs of young stroke survivors. We're going to do our best every day to get you back to doing the things you love most.

Our young adult stroke rehabilitation program

Having a stroke at a young age poses an array of unique challenges. You want your active lifestyle back, and it's our goal to help you get there. That is why, as part of our hospital's stroke care services, we have designed a highly specialized stroke rehabilitation program to help young adults meet their specific recovery goals. Rehabilitation does not reverse the brain damage caused by a stroke, but it can go far to help achieve the best possible outcome for long-term recovery.

If you have questions about our program, we are here 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call us at (772) 467-3577 for more information.
