Community Stroke Education and Stroke Risk Assessments

We perform two to three community stroke lectures a month depending on community requests. We also perform stroke risk assessments every month at the Willow Grove Mall and also as requested in the community. The community education department and the neurology nurses support this effort.

Please notify Debi Murphy, C.R.N.P. at (215) 481-3627 if you:

  • are interested in a stroke risk assessment program or stroke lecture at your place of work, worship or community center.
  • would like to schedule an appointment for your personal stroke risk assessment.
