OUR COMMITMENT

Pacific Stroke Association is committed to empowering people to thrive after stroke.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

• We support stroke survivors and family caregivers by connecting them with local community resources.

Each year in the United States, there are close to 800,000 strokes.  Stroke is the leading cause of disabilities in the country.  The risk of having a stroke more than doubles each decade after the age of 55.

Learning about stroke can help you act in time to save a co-worker, friend, or relative.  Making changes in your lifestyle can help you prevent a stroke.
