Vision and mission
Vision: Fewer strokes, better outcomes, support and care for all.
Mission: Prevent stroke. Save lives. Enhance recovery.
How the Stroke Foundation can help
They empower people to reduce their risk of stroke. They ensure people know the signs of stroke, so they can access treatment and have better outcomes. They support hospitals and healthcare providers across Australia to strengthen stroke care and rehabilitation services. They support survivors of stroke, families and carers to navigate the service system and get what they need to manage their health and live a good life after stroke.
