Support Groups

The American Stroke Association is a division of the American Heart Association that focuses on reducing risk, disability and death from stroke through research, education, fund raising and advocacy. The American Heart Association created the American Stroke Association after many years of increasing emphasis on stroke.  They spend more money on stroke research and programs than any other organization except the federal government.  Their website provides a range of useful information and resources for stroke survivors and their families.
