The fall of 2006 witnessed the establishment of the University of Delaware’s Stroke Assessment Clinic. This service to the community is modeled after the Department’s long-standing MS clinic and was the brainchild of recent PT program graduate Meredith Perny, who provided most of the initial effort to organize this endeavor.

The mission of the clinic is to provide comprehensive evaluations, exercise recommendations and referrals for individuals who have suffered a stroke, no longer receive therapy, and would like to determine if they would benefit from additional treatment. The Stroke Clinic is designed for the additional purpose of fostering the academic mission of the Department of Physical Therapy to advance physical therapy practice through the integration of education, clinical practice and research.

The clinic is run by physical therapy student volunteers under the supervision of Dr. John Scholz, faculty advisor. Mrs. Donna Moore serves as scheduling coordinator. The clinic meets once monthly through the academic year. Patients can contact Mrs. Moore at 831-8521 for an appointment.
