Someone has a stroke every 40 seconds and every 4 minutes someone dies from a stroke. Suffering a STROKE affects the quality of life, whether it’s occupational or in their personal life.
The stereotypes of who can have a stroke and what they should look like post stroke has to shift.
Individuals who are young, with no pre-existing health issues or no family history are having stroke as well.
This invisible attack leaves invisible disabilities that need to be tackled TODAY!
