Katherine
Stroke Survivor, Librarian, & Kandu Program Graduate
"It was really helpful to talk with my navigator about specific actions I needed to take during my recovery. I am so grateful that Kandu guided me through this life-changing event, introduced me to other stroke survivors, and helped me focus on what was important."
Patrick Topping, MBA, BSN, RN
Stroke Program Coordinator at Cooper Neurological Institute
"Kandu allows us to continue to provide comprehensive care to patients after they leave our hospital. They are an important resource for patients when they need it most– during those first weeks and months after hospital discharge. Kandu's focus on the whole person ensure patients are set up for success."
Cheryl
Stroke Survivor, Guardian Ad Litem, & Kandu Program Graduate
"It was the support of the Kandu Stroke Community that impacted me the most throughout the program. Listening to other survivors and their incredible journeys and courage, and having a consistent connection and interaction with my Navigator, gave me the tools I needed to ensure ongoing progress in my recovery."
Fred Khoshravi
CEO and Chariman, Imperative Care
"The access to solutions is very limited. There are no roads where we're going. We are excited about providing more care to more patients as we move forward and effectively changing this era of stroke care to one that actually considers the patient as the constant in the entire continuum."
Kathy
Care Partner, Former School Psychologist, and Kandu Participant
"The insurance will let the doctor talk to you for the measured ten minutes, but Kandu can pick it up and take it from there. You have that extension, and I think that's exceptionally important. What would we have done without Kandu? This program surpassed even what family could do."
Jeffrey Wertheimer, PhD, ABPP-CN
Associate Director of Physical Medicine & Rehab and Chief of Psychology & Neuropsychology at Cedars-Sinai
“Kandu is almost a protégé for how important is for a program to partner with health care agencies. We're creating a way to help the team, helping the patient learn more about resources, helping them to reduce length of stay when possible."
