U.S. Initiative Seeks to Boost Hispanic Stroke Awareness

“The initiative is designed to promote the NINDS national stroke education program, “Know Stroke, Know the Signs, Act in Time,” among Hispanics by providing a Spanish-language tool kit that can be used by health educators to educate members of their communities about the signs of stroke and the importance of calling 911 at the first signs of a stroke. Prompt treatment of stroke can significantly decrease or even prevent long-term disability.”
