Podcast by LaVasha Cain-Lobbins, Founder and Executive Director of Fight Stroke Now
Imagine, observing your once vibrant, and outgoing 36 year old aunt now in a wheel chair unable to care for herself. Then she passes away at the young age of 40 years of age leaving behind 3 children. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stroke is the leading cause of long term disability. Stroke also costs about $34 billion each year including various healthcare services and time away from work. These statistics alone show there is more that needs to be done to achieve better patient outcomes from the effects of stroke. Fight Stroke Now goes beyond awareness… it is empowered training!
