Munson Stroke Club March 11 Features Kelly Stites on Assisted Moving Services

Munson Healthcare’s Grand Traverse Bay Area Stroke Club will meet Wednesday, March 11, 2026, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church, 701 Westminster Rd. in Traverse City, and will feature a presentation by Kelly Stites on assisted moving services for stroke survivors, though Munson has not confirmed Stites’s full organizational affiliation. The meeting is slated to be an in-person session at the Westminster Road church and will follow the club’s regular second-Wednesday schedule.

The club’s monthly format and purpose are overseen by Munson staff. “The Grand Traverse Bay Area Stroke Club is open to the public and meets on the second Wednesday of each month. The group offers stroke survivors and support persons the opportunity to learn, share, and connect through speakers, demonstrations, and discussions.” Melinda Hollands, L.M.S.W., of Munson Medical Center’s Patient Care Management Department, will facilitate the March 11 meeting; for more information Hollands can be reached at 231-935-6380.

A local calendar lists a dial-in number, 701-802-5194, with access code 309845 for virtual meetings noted on May 11 and June 8 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.; attendees should contact Hollands at 231-935-6380 to confirm whether the March 11 session will include the same phone access.
