Healing through hardships: Exploring the power of support when it matters most

From helping new military moms to the inspiring journey of stroke survivors reclaiming life, "What's Health" explores the power of support when it matters most.

"What's Health Got to Do with It?" is a talk program from WJCT in Jacksonville that examines the intersection of health care and daily life.

On this episode, host Dr. Joe Sirven delves into stories of strength, resilience and healing.

He first speaks with retired U.S. Navy Capt. Rosemary Perdue, director of the visiting nurse program for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, about the unique challenges new moms in the military face.

Perdue leads First Year Focus, an initiative that brings compassion, connection and critical care to mothers whose jobs sometimes include frequent moves and deployments.

Then, we hold a discussion on restarting life after a stroke.

Surviving a stroke involves a delicate balance of science, support and resilience. Brain experts weigh in on treatment, rehab and how family members can support a loved one in recovery.

The guests are Dr. Rabih Tawk and Dr. Michelle Lin, both neurologists at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville
