Welcome Professionals

As you are aware, stroke research and developments are occurring faster than ever before. SSAO understands this and has created this page to provide a forum for Professionals to use as a resource for them and their patients. We hope this area will provide you not only with medical data but also provides insights to the pyscio-social challenges facing stroke survivors. We welcome you contribute to this area as well so that other Professionals and survivors may benefit from your knowledge and experience. Submission may be made to this page by calling 613.237.0650
