Stroke Awareness Month
This May marks Stroke Awareness Month, and we're taking part to help educate and uplift the community about stroke, prevention methods and how to recognise the signs of stroke.
Led by Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand, this year’s campaign focuses on turning awareness into action.
Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability and second leading cause of death in New Zealand. Yet up to 90% of strokes are preventable.
