Stroke and Covid-19

This is the first of our four-part series explores COVID-19 and its potential impact on stroke survivors, their caregivers and families.  Hear stroke patients’ questions and concerns and our stroke experts’ responses.

Moderated by Emmy Award-winning news anchor and journalist Carey Peña, this episode features stroke survivor Christopher Ewing and Dr. Mitchell Elkind, professor of neurology and epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City.

Ewing shares his moving stroke story and the concerns he and fellow stroke survivors in Southern California have about how COVID-19 may affect them.

Elkind addresses stroke survivors’ COVID-19-related health risks and how stroke survivors can reduce their risks and stay healthy during the pandemic.
