Stroke is the #2 cause of death in the world. Someone on the planet has a stroke every two seconds. The good news is that prevention and treatment work together to end stroke. And, together, stroke heroes are helping.
Stroke heroes are everyday people fighting to end stroke. Whether it’s a survivor determined to prevent another stroke, a healthcare professional who educates the public, a caregiver who works tirelessly to facilitate recovery or a student who learns how to spot a stroke F.A.S.T., we salute these courageous and compassionate individuals.
