Approximately 700,000 Americans experience a new or recurrent stroke each year, and stroke remains the third leading cause of death in the United States. In addition, stroke remains the leading cause of serious long-term disability. There are roughly 4.8 million living stroke survivors and the economic impact is greater than $50 billion per year.
Strokes require immediate care. Research shows that treatment during the first few hours after stroke symptoms appear is vitally important if you, or someone you care about, is to have the best recovery possible.
