stroke survivors
Brain attack recoverers
Stroke survivors are people who have lived through a stroke—a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain.
The term emphasizes resilience and continued life rather than defining people by their medical event: The support group connects stroke survivors with similar experiences.
Many stroke survivors face lasting challenges with speech, movement, or cognition, making the term common in healthcare and rehabilitation contexts.
