Helping My Community - Pina Sullivan's Interview - Part Two

"I always knew I was put in this world to help others." Pina knew this as an office manager, a caregiver, a grandmother. A stroke taught her what it really means. Pina's story is about trying — one step, one word, one breath at a time — and the family, faith, and fellow survivors who made that possible. Now Pina is the one sitting with others when the words won't come, saying what someone once said to her: take your time, try again. If you've ever had to learn your own name all over again, this one is for you.Community Conversation PromptHow have you found a new sense of purpose post stroke?Mentioned ResourcesCabrillo College Stroke and Disability CenterSanta Clara Valley Medical CenterBeyond Stillness collaborated with Brandi Dickinson’s Storytelling Class at Cabrillo College’s Stroke and Disability Center for Pina’s episode.This episode was presented in partnership with Santa Clara County’s Stroke Awareness Foundation — because through education and awareness, we can save lives and improve the health of our diverse community.
