The "Succeeding After Stroke" support group at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola has cancelled its meeting in August.

The next meeting of the support group will be held Sept. 2 from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Sacred Heart Hospital Conference Center on Ninth Avenue.

This stroke support group is both an information and support group provided by Sacred Heart Hospital's Regional Stroke Center. The group is designed for stroke survivors, their families and caretakers. Topics discussed will vary from month to month to include information regarding community services, resources, nutrition and more. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month.

Sacred Heart's Regional Stroke Center is certified as a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center. The Joint Commission's Certificate of Distinction for Primary Stroke Centers recognizes centers that make exceptional efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care.
