Welcome to the Website of
The Stroke Association of Southern California
Stroke is caused by interruption of the flow of blood to the brain and is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. Stroke affects every aspect of meaningful life for survivors and families.
For millennia, it seemed as though nothing could be done about stroke. That is no longer true. Today, stroke can be prevented and those who have been affected by stroke can have satisfying and meaningful lives.
The Stroke Association of Southern California is a leader in the advances of stroke prevention and recovery services that include:
Advanced stroke prevention services that promote healthy behavior, improve lifestyle, address health risk factors, and reduce occurrence of stroke.
Helpline services so individuals and families access the information, care, resources, and support they need.
Healthcare advocacy, on request, to assure that patients receive treatment that meets standards of stroke care in a complicated medical system.
Support for more certified Primary Stroke Centers in Southern California.
Coordination with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and community resources so inpatients have a smooth transition to outpatient care and return home.
Comprehensive stroke recovery services so survivors and families learn the skills and adaptations needed to live well after stroke.
A safe environment where survivors and families share experience, strength, and hope. Recovery is more effective with encouragement and support.
