Columbia College Associate Professor and Chair of Speech-Language Pathology undergraduate program, AnnMarie Knight, PhD., shared her expertise with WLTX on World Stroke Day. Dr. Knight discussed the ways a stroke affects the brain, and the long term effects it may have on a patients' ability to regain their independence.
"You know we have a lot of rural areas that don't have enough providers. Sometimes there's a really long delay between the time the person has the stroke and gets released from the hospital, to when they're able to maybe have a home health provider come out to the home and start working with them."
