Unfortunately, every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke. Every 4 minutes someone dies from one.

Everyone should learn about strokes, its symptoms, and how to prevent them. Knowledge is power and knowing this information can be the difference between life and death, or quality of life. Remember Time is Brain!

Although our target is health promotion and prevention, we also created a little space here with information for stroke survivors and family members. 

-Connect with other stroke survivors and caregivers, share your story. How to find support a group:
