Kenny Grad School

Kenny Grad School is a new education series offered by Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute available to people in the community with spinal cord injuries or strokes and their families.

Each session involves a program at which an expert from the Institute or the community provides a presentation either related to spinal cord injury or stroke, followed by discussion among the group.

Kenny Grad School provides a forum for exploring ongoing issues along with identifying networking opportunities in the community. Topics may include:

• aging with spinal cord injury or stroke
• maintaining cardiovascular health
• options in resuming driving, sexuality or pain

Kenny Grad School is supported through funding from the Sister Kenny Foundation.

Pre-registration is required. Please call 612-863-7306.
