About GCSSG
The Gold Coast Stroke Support Group is a forum for many specialists (both medical & therapeutic) in the area of STROKE (or BRAIN ATTACK). Thus it offers attendees to meetings up-to-date information & education in the area of Stroke prevention, treatment, rehabilitation & support. Not only will Stroke Survivors benefit by attending meetings but members of their family and/or carer/s may also benefit. These benefits may flow to not only the Stroke Survivor but also to members of their family &/or carer/s.
Any STROKE (or BRAIN ATTACK) SURVIVOR, members of their family, their carer(s) and other interested members of the Public are invited and welcome to attend our Monthly Meetings.
