Welcome
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Nebraska, killing more than 1,000 Nebraska residents each year. There is no age limit on strokes – 20% of the people who die from strokes in Nebraska are under the age of 75.
The Nebraska State Stroke Association devotes 100% of its donations to serving Nebraskans by providing stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation education and post-stroke support to stroke survivors and their families.
The Spring 2009 Newsletter is now online.
