    To get Flint Stroke Ready, we need your help!

    • Stroke is a leading cause of disability.

    • There is a clot-buster medicine called TPA to treat stroke -- but it can ONLY be given at the hospital! 

    • TPA is underutilized throughout the U.S. However, it is especially underutilized in Flint where TPA treatment rates are half the national average! 

    ​

    What is Stroke Ready?

    Stroke Ready is a free, community-based health promotion program that aims to educate and empower ALL members of the Flint community to:

    • Recognize signs of stroke, and 

    • Call 911 and get to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as stroke symptoms start!

    TESTIMONIALS

    Stroke is very real in Flint. I'm sure everybody has a story about stroke in their family. Before this program, I knew of stroke but I never knew what TPA was, what the signs of stroke were, or to get to the hospital. That's why it's so important for me to help my community understand that strokes are real and that you can be that hero to save someone that's having a stroke.
