The Path to Prevention
Over 80% of Strokes are Preventable
The Foundation has a focus on stroke prevention. That means creating awareness of stroke risk factors and how to mitigate them, understanding the signs of stroke and what steps to take if stroke signs appear, particularly with second strokes.
Living your best life, even after a stroke as you create your “New Me and New Us” lives.
The Foundation’s aim is to provide survivors and their caregiver partners with the intellectual tools, along with realistic hope, encouragement, and support as they embark on their recovery journeys.
Donate to help stroke survivors and their caregivers!
Stroke recovery is a lifelong endeavor for both the survivor and their caregiver(s). However, because of a lack of knowledge, most stroke survivors never recover to the levels that are possible.
