World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness of the prevention and treatment of the condition, and ensure better care and support for survivors. On this day, organizations around the world facilitate events emphasizing education, testing, and initiatives to improve the damaging effects of stroke worldwide.
The campaign focuses on issues associated with life after stroke - dementia being a very severe issue of course. We're doing our best to research the link between stroke and Alzheimer's in order to understand how to minimize the risk for dementia following stroke.
