March of Dimes Canada

March of Dimes Canada (MODC) is a leading national charity committed to championing equity, empowering ability, and creating real change that will help the more than six million people living with disabilities across the country unlock the richness of their lives.  Our Mission is to be Canada’s leading service provider, resource, and advocate, empowering people with disabilities to live and thrive in communities nationwide. Our Vision is to create an inclusive, barrier-free society for people with disabilities.

Within MODC, we have an After Stroke Community Program which is a personalized recovery program that helps survivors, and their families move forward after a stroke. Our Mission is to deliver person-to-person support, educational opportunities, and innovative community-based programs that provide a connection to humanity, hope, and life after stroke. Our vision is for a world where stroke survivors and their families can recover and live active, healthy and connected lives. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke – and we are here to help make it possible.

After Stroke is a personalized stroke recovery program that helps survivors, and their families navigate the path forward after a stroke. There are more than 62,000 new strokes in Canada each year – about one every nine minutes – but better and faster treatment means there are more stroke survivors than ever before.

Our Teams works together to develop and grow partnerships with community organizations, hospitals and rehabilitation centres to support stroke survivors and their families. These teams are supported by volunteer stroke survivors, caregivers, and the community who give their time as volunteers to support the delivery o programs and After Stroke services.
