STROKE SURVIVORS EXERCISE PROGRAM

TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS • 3:00-4:30 pm: Westlake Center for Community Services, 28975 Hilliard Blvd. Westlake.

There are many benefits to continuing regular physical exercise after a stroke. However, stroke survivors often face many challenges when attempting to find a place to exercise.

University Hospitals Outpatient Rehab has created a program at the Westlake Community Center Exercise Room to help guide participants through their exercise program and answer questions. This program is intended for people who had a stroke and have graduated to outpatient rehabilitation and those who are looking for support while creating a regular exercise routine. People must be able to get off and on the machines independently or with help from a caregiver.

We are asking each participant to discuss this with their physician and have a medical clearance form filled out. There is a $50 initiation fee and then an ongoing $25 monthly fee to participate.

Please call UH SJMC Outpatient Rehab at 440-414-6050 with questions or to register for the program.

CAR SEAT INSTALLATION

For all caregivers who need help with car seat installations or have questions about the safest way to transport their children or grandchildren in motor vehicles, getting expert advice and assistance just got a little easier. University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children’s along with UH St. John and Parma Medical Centers will partner with the following west side fire stations to provide car seat checking stations, by Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technicians. UH Rainbow’s Injury Prevention Center has had a car seat fitting station at the hospital’s main campus in University Circle for more than 10 years. In response to community requests, UH Rainbow is making it easier for Westside families to get expert help in choosing and installing car seats with the opening of car seat fitting stations at area fire stations. The service is provided free-of-charge, at the following fire departments, but an appointment is required. Call 440-827-5440 to schedule (if not otherwise noted).
