Kids Have Strokes
We all know that adults can have strokes, but many people are not aware that children can have strokes, too. In fact, 1 in 2800 infants and between 2 and 13 in 100,000 children (ages 1 month to 18 years) will suffer a stroke. Early intervention and therapy is key to success. Reaching others with this message is part of our Pediatric Stroke Awareness month in May. Learn more about how you can help >
