The HOPE Stroke Support Group at Manatee Memorial Hospital (MMH) is a stroke and cardiac support group for stroke survivors, individuals with cardiac diagnosis and their caregivers. HOPE stands for Healing, Optimism, Positivity, and Encouragement. Three groups sponsor HOPE: Manatee Memorial Hospital, Florida Home Health, and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Sarasota.
The HOPE Stroke Support Group meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Manatee Memorial Hospital Auditorium, 206 2nd Street East, Bradenton, Florida. At this meeting you can enjoy a FREE heart-healthy dinner and beverage, a presentation on stroke and cardiac topics, as well as interacting with other attendees. This event is FREE and open to the public.
HOPE asks that you RSVP to reserve your seat so they know how many meals to order. To RSVP, call 941-297-8013. There is free parking in the visitor parking lot next to the hospital’s main entrance.
