New Stroke Awareness Campaign for African Americans

Greetings Everyone,

As you know with our New Black Cultural Diet blog, we examine and dialogue about as many health and medical issues as we can that's related to African Americans. Recently, I have been informed of a new public health awareness campaign focusing on African Americans and Stroke.

Stroke is the number #3 cause of death and disabilty among African Americans. Did you know that the risk of stroke in African Americans is TWICE as high as in white Americans? Stroke is very important to me because I have close family members who have had strokes and they are stroke survivors. One family member is very close to me. She is doing very well and has educated me about how she has adapted to everyday living while being a stroke survivor!

The Ad Council and American Stroke Association have released this Public Service Announement to raise awareness and help save lives in our community. Check out the video:
