For many Veterans recovering from a stroke, riding a bike again can feel impossible. But a recent adaptive cycling event from the Birmingham VA Veterans Stroke Support Group showed recovery is not just about therapy.

It is also about finding independence, building confidence and enjoying life again.

Your Birmingham VA Health Care System is proud to support the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24.
We encourage all Veterans and employees to take a few moments to remove any unused or expired medications from their homes.

Together, we can reduce the risk of overdose and overdose deaths by safely disposing of medications through our Medication Take Back Boxes located at:
• Birmingham VA Medical Center (Emergency Department) 700 19th St. S., Birmingham Friday & Saturday | 24/7
• Birmingham VA Clinic (Entrance) 2415 7th Ave. S., Birmingham Friday | 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

"This event gave Veterans an opportunity to challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zones, and explore new activities." — Megan Zahorscak, Occupational Therapist and Certified Neuro Specialist

For many Veterans recovering from a stroke, riding a bike again can feel impossible. But a recent adaptive cycling event from the Birmingham VA Health Care System’s Veterans Stroke Support Group showed that recovery is not just about therapy. It is also about finding independence, building confidence, and enjoying life again.

With help from Catalyst Sports - Atlanta, a volunteer-run nonprofit based in Atlanta, Veterans got to try adaptive cycling; many for the first time since their stroke. The event gave them a break from regular rehab and showed that physical challenges do not have to stop them from doing what they love.
