Know Stroke Prevent Stroke

The Montana Cardiovascular Health Program conducts statewide activities to prevent stroke and associated risk factors.

Our goal is to reduce the public burden caused by stroke and the impact of death and disability on Montana communities and families.

The program sponsors media and outreach education campaigns to increase awareness of the signs of stroke and the need to call 9-1-1 fast, and to encourage individuals to prevent stroke through healthy behaviors.
