Monash Health Business Breakfast: Stroke workplace support and recovery

Did you know that every 11 minutes, someone suffers from a stroke in Australia? The good news is that 80% of strokes are preventable by adopting healthy habits.

Last week, the Monash Health Foundation hosted its fourth event in our Business Breakfast Series – connecting with business leaders from across Victoria to explore ‘The Business of Recovery – Stroke’s Impact on the Workplace’. 

We were joined by our MC, Bill Haggerty, special guests and experts Professor Henry Ma, Director of Neuroscience at Monash Health, Professor Dominique Cadilhac, senior stroke researcher at Monash University, and three-time stroke survivor Bill Gasiamis, to keep informed about stroke prevention, early response, and workplace support and recovery.  

A special thank you to our major sponsor, EML, for supporting this important event.
