Stroke is a critical public health issue with substantial global implications, as well as here in Delaware. It occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, leading to potentially devastating consequences. As a leading cause of death and disability, stroke poses significant challenges to healthcare systems, families, and individuals. Public heath strategies are essential for both prevention and management.
