Rural Appalachia Stroke Camp 

The Eastern Kentucky Stroke Warriors, a support group of stroke survivors and caregivers, is pleased to announce the first Rural Appalachia Stroke Camp to be held Sept. 25, 2021, at Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park. The group is partnering with the University of Kentucky Center of Excellence in Rural Health (UK CERH) and the Kentucky Appalachian Rural Rehabilitation Network (KARRN) to host stroke survivors and caregivers for a fun-filled day to relax, learn and rejuvenate.

The theme of the camp is It’s Your Day: Refresh-Renew-Refocus. Keynote speakers will be providing information on stroke awareness, stress management, music therapy and healthy eating. Attendees can participate in activities that will be adapted to stroke survivors’ needs, including fishing, boating, crafting and cooking demonstrations.
