National Stroke Association




National Stroke Association is excited to announce its 25th anniversary. Visit www.stroke.org/25th for more info.

Since 1984 when our doors first opened, National Stroke Association has remained the only national non-profit that focuses 100% of its efforts on stroke.

With one mission and one voice, we continue designing programming and initiatives that aim to provide education and support to survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals and anyone else interested in stroke. While stroke remains the third leading cause of death, the past 25 years have brought tremendous milestones in stroke. Visit www.stroke.org/25thmilestones for more info.

Now, it's more important than ever that you join our voice and make the next 25 years as impactful as possible!

For the next year, in the hopes of drawing ever more attention to stroke and continuing to build a grassroots advocacy base, National Stroke Association is celebrating our anniversary by creating free online tools and resources that make it easy for you to spread awareness about stroke through events and education. An online Toolbox will be launched in the coming days. Visit www.stroke.org/25th for more information.

We hope your voice will become a part of ours. Watch for regular emails and announcements on www.stroke.org for more information about the Toolbox and how you can celebrate 25 years of reducing the impact and incidence of stroke.
