Stroke - Not a Secret - Talk About It

Stroke prevention isn't a myth. Yet most people are unaware that stroke is largely preventable.

National Stroke Association challenges you to set down with your family or loved ones once this month to discuss risk factors. Dinner time is the perfect opportunity to talk with family about stroke's impact on your family tree.

Even if your family doesn't live nearby, take advantage of weekly Skype conversations or our awareness ecards and send one out today.

Use the risk factor scorecard to identify personal risk for each person, and then commit to seeing a healthcare professional for follow-up care.
