Abstract

The Stroke Advisory Council and its partners created the NC Stroke System of Care, an online repository of strategies and resources, in efforts to prevent rising rates of stroke in our state and to steer our work. A stroke registry was developed to gain a more comprehensive view of stroke in the state and identify gaps in care and health inequities.
