Manage episode 457238125 series 3526680
This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we welcome Chuck Toeniskoetter, a well educated businessman, philanthropist, and family man. In the year 2000, life was moving fast for Chuck, but on a December afternoon, his world changed in an instant. Confused as the signs of stroke appeared, his luck took over. The ski patrol nurse on duty knew just what to do. Chuck received proper and timely care, which improved the outcomes of his recovery. Within the next couple years he worked to regain abilities while also co-founding a live saving foundation. Today, Chuck Toeniskoetter shares how his experience inspired him and the Stroke Awareness Foundation to establish Certified Stroke Centers in Santa Clara County, obtain ambulance redirection for stroke victims to Certified Stroke Centers, and raise stroke awareness.
