As the leading cause of disability, stroke affects over 700,000 people throughout the U.S. every year, approximately 500,000 of which experience it for the first time, while the remaining 200,000 are recurrent cases. In Florida, stroke claims the life of someone every 3 seconds.
Over 4 million Americans are stroke survivors, currently struggling with the health effects of the condition. Moreover, 14% of survivors will experience another stroke within a year. Strokes can occur at any age, being the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease and cancer. However, death rate and disability can be reduced by 30% if the signs of stroke are immediately recognized and treated.
