The State-of-the-Science Stroke Nursing Symposium is an opportunity to share innovative best clinical practices that have been developed to optimize patient outcomes. An exciting plenary program and stimulating break-out sessions are planned to meet educational needs for nurses, rehabilitation and healthcare professionals at various skill levels.
