"Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. About 137,000 Americans die of stroke every year1. The theme for this year's World Stroke Day builds on last year’s theme "1 in 6:" 1 in 6 people worldwide will have a stroke in their lifetime; every 6 seconds, someone somewhere will die from stroke2.
This campaign not only stresses how prevalent stroke is but also highlights the fact that stroke can be prevented and that stroke survivors can recover and regain their quality of life with care and support."
