Stroke is the number one cause of long-term disability and the 5th leading
cause of death in the United States, yet it continues to be one of the
most misunderstood diseases.
Individuals who have experienced a stroke and their families, understandably
often have questions. Through its Stroke Family Warmline, the American
Stroke Association connects stroke survivors and their families to a compassionate
and knowledgeable professional who can provide support and helpful information.
