Thank you for visiting us in Houston, Texas at the 2024 Advances in Stroke Care Conference.
Building a Bridge to Better Outcomes
The transition from hospital to community settings is a critical time. Challenges for stroke survivors and care partners do not end when they leave the hospital. They require customized care and support.
Kandu Health provides stroke survivors with the guidance they need at home with a virtual recovery program. We partner with hospitals to ensure patients have a safe transition home and a customized recovery plan. Together, we provide continuity of patient care to achieve better quality of life for stroke survivors and their care partners.

Back So Soon? Risk Factors in 90-Day Ischemic Stroke Readmissions
This research presented by Lauren Sheehan, OTD, OTR/L and Kiffon Keigher, NP explores demographic, hospitalization and comorbidity risk factors associated with readmissions following hospital discharge from inpatient treatment of ischemic stroke. Join us live on Friday 8/2 in Legends 4 at 2:10pm or register for business updates to receive the highlights.
Stroke Clinician Journal Feasibility of a Telemedicine-Based Principle Illness Navigation Service
Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) services may play an important role in helping patients through important transitions in care following acute hospitalization. In this publication in the official journal of ANVC, we evaluated a novel PIN telemedicine approach to understand the feasibility of providing these services to diverse patients.
Case Study Early Access Providing Support for Readmission Prevention
Kandu Navigators work with stroke survivors and care partners to identify their recovery needs and provide tailored support to help them achieve recovery goals and prevent complications like readmissions. Check out our latest case study featuring two patients we supported to prevent readmission after discharge from stroke.
"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."
Katherine
Stroke Survivor, Librarian, & Kandu Program Graduate
"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."
Patrick Topping, MBA, BSN, RN
Stroke Program Coordinator at Cooper Neurological Institute
"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."
Cheryl
Stroke Survivor, Guardian Ad Litem, & Kandu Program Graduate
"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."
Fred Khoshravi
CEO and Chariman, Imperative Care
"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."
Kathy
Care Partner, Former School Psychologist, and Kandu Participant
“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."
