Delaware County Today, presented by Muncie Community Schools, only on WMUN, The Talk of Muncie.

Stroke Awareness and Support in Muncie — On Delaware County Today with Steve Lindell, we shine a light on stroke recovery and community care. Shelby Fritz, Speech Pathologist at IU Health Ball Memorial, and Lisa Hayes, Stroke Program Coordinator, explain the signs of a stroke using the FAST method and discuss how every second counts in treatment. They also announce the return of the “C’s” Stroke Support Group — Supporting Each Other After Stroke — which begins September 9 at 3 p.m. and continues every second Tuesday at IU Health’s Orthopedic Center on West North Street in Muncie. Open to survivors, families, and caregivers alike.
 
Hear how this compassionate team helps patients through the hardest moments — and how you or a loved one can find connection, understanding, and support.
