Meet Ellen! Read below to learn more about her career and reasoning for starting this support group.

“I came to Springfield Regional Medical Center this spring as part of the new neurovascular intervention program. My nursing background is mainly in ER nursing, where I took care of many patients that were actively having a stroke. I moved to a neurosurgery/neurointervention practice four years ago and developed a new appreciation for the aftereffects of a stroke. When I started at SRMC my supervisor explained that he would like to get a support group started in the local area and I ran with it. I feel that it is so important for our patients and their caregivers to have someone to talk to that shares their experience and can understand their feelings.”

Thanks Ellen, for the effort you put in to provide this opportunity for the stroke survivors and caregivers of Clark County 👏🏻
