Patient Case Study: In the Case of Miss Christine

Abstract

Young stroke survivors often return to the community for ongoing recovery and reintegration. Their needs are somewhat different than their older counterparts, and they can be easily lost in the complex health care system of specialty and primary care services. This young woman and her outpatient rehabilitation providers exemplify some problems encountered and the persistent, caring, and successful work that teams can accomplish to maximize ongoing recovery.
