On March 16, 2018, the Joseph B. Jr. and Mary Anne O'Neal Stroke Center was recognized by the California Park and Recreation Society with the "Award of Excellence".
It is a statewide award given annually at the CPRS Conference. Our award falls under the category "Creating Community" with the emphasis of "Serving the Underserved".
Our efforts here at the Stroke Center met the CPRS's "C.R.E.A.M" principle, which stands for: Challenge, Resourcefulness, Execution, Accomplishment, and Mission. Award recipients receive statewide recognition at the CPRS Conference & Expo, including being listed in the Best of the Best booklet and showcase. We worked hard to earn this award, and we are proud to serve the underserved in a very unique fashion every day. The Stroke Center puts Carson on the map, it makes Carson unique, and now it is earning us statewide recognition.
The mission of the Joseph B. Jr. and Mary Anne O’Neal Stroke Center is to serve the needs of people living with the effects of stroke,
and to provide support for their families. This facility features rehabilitative fitness equipment, and offers a variety of activities including group exercise,
numerous therapies, support groups, social activities, and more. The only requirement is that stroke survivors are at least 6 months post-stroke.
Fitness Center
The Stroke Center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Once your application has been accepted, you gain access to our center, equipment, and available staff.
Our rehabilitative and exercise equipment is available to use for our survivors on a limited basis, by appointment only. Call us to reserve a spot!
Chair Exercise
This group exercise class focuses on the upper and lower limbs. Group exercise activities provide the stroke survivor with light recreational activities to supplement the ongoing rehabilitative process.
Come join us on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. to exercise with some friends.
Occupational Therapy *Not currently intaking new patients*
Occupational therapy is available by appointment only, to stroke survivors who wish to improve their ability to perform daily tasks and successfully execute meaningful and purposeful activities across the
lifespan. Stroke survivors meet one-on-one with a Licensed Occupational Therapist for 60-minute sessions.
