Merilyn Palmer
Field Officer
I am the Field Officer for the Stroke Foundation in Northland. The purpose of my work is to help people who have had a stroke to improve their quality of life.
I work with the stroke survivor, family and caregivers, heath professionals, volunteers and others who will help promote the wellbeing of the person who has had a stroke.
The services provided by the Stroke Foundation and its various support groups, compliment each other and follow on from where the health services leave off.
The general focus is on rehabilitating the stroke survivor back into the community. It is also to help the person with a stroke, their family and caregivers, understand a stroke and adjust to their considerably changed circumstances following a stroke.
I am available to discuss any stroke related problems, make hospital visits, home visits, advise on services available in the community and liaise with Stroke Clubs.
We have a Stroke Club in Whangarei, a Stroke Support Group in Dargaville and a hydro therapy session in Whangarei on Tuesday from 11 - 12 noon. Please contact me for further information about these groups or to book in for the hydro therapy session.
