VICTORIA STROKE RECOVERY ASSOCIATION
The Victoria Stroke Recovery Association
There is life after a stroke.
Since 1979, members of the Victoria Stroke Recovery Association (VSRA) have been helping stroke survivors and care partners. We have survived this experience ourselves, and together we have evolved ways of moving beyond a stroke to a renewed life of hope and possibility.
WHEN DO WE MEET?
- Friday of each week ~ 10:15 am to 1:30 pm
