The recent news and national dialogue about brain health seems to have been dominated by the HBO documentary on Alzheimer's disease. Nonetheless, it is worth reminding the readership that stroke is a major killer that can be thwarted to a great degree through education and proper management of risk factors.

The website for the American Stroke Association has many great resources for those concerned about stroke, those who have suffered from stroke, those at risk for stroke, and those giving care for stroke victims.

It is worthwhile to take a moment, visit the site, and learn about stroke.
