DHS Expands Stroke Prevention Campaign

"Characters highlight risk factors and signs of stroke"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is continuing to raise awareness about prevention, treatment, and recovery from stroke by launching an expanded statewide public awareness campaign to teach people how they can reduce their stroke risk, how to know if someone is having a stroke, and to act quickly if they or someone near them is having a stroke.

This expanded campaign comes as data show stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Each year in Wisconsin, about 11,000 people will have a stroke, and 2,700 will die.

"Stroke impacts people across the state," said DHS State Health Officer Paula Tran. "Through this campaign, we are working to get information out in communities across the state, with a focus on reaching people who are most at risk and who can take steps now to protect their health."
