Prevent

Up to 80% of strokes may be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices and managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and smoking.

Treat

When it comes to stroke, every second counts. Treatment can save lives—and quality of life—but only if patients get the right care, right away.

Beat

Life after stroke can be challenging, but there is hope. Making strong rehab decisions, staying connected to your care team, and taking steps to prevent another stroke can improve your recovery and quality of life. With the right tools and support, survivors can thrive.
