Webinar/research description:
Join us for a works in progress seminar, led by Darin Zahuranec and Claire Creutzfeldt, where we will discuss our emerging grant ideas aimed at improving patient-centered nutritional support for stroke survivors with swallowing difficulties.

Come ready for lively discussion and collaborative brainstorming!
