Program Description

Specific Event Details

Debra Madonna, author of “A Stroke: One Teeny, Broken Blood Vessel,” will begin this talk with facts about strokes, followed by a description of her left-sided hemorrhagic stroke in 2015 and her recovery. She will discuss how it affected her life and her family, focusing on the challenges of being a patient and a caregiver, and those who are both at the same time. Debra led many different support groups and health discussions at St. Mary Mercy Hospital before her stroke, and has also been a leader and organizer in many Plymouth community groups, such as Music in the Park, Plymouth Community Arts Council, and Miracle League of Plymouth.
