Press release
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 Every 10 minutes, a Canadian will have a stroke.
There are more than 300,000 stroke survivors in Canada—and every year another 50,000 join their ranks.
Stroke Recovery Canada, a program of March of Dimes Canada, helps stroke survivors across the country to more easily re-engage in their communities, and affirm that there is meaningful and quality life after a stroke.
With May designated as Stroke Recovery Awareness Month, Stroke Recovery Canada has increased its efforts to educate the public about stroke recovery.
