“World Stroke Day is an important opportunity to educate people about stroke and to encourage them to take steps to reduce their risk of stroke,” the University of Toledo wrote in a statement. “It is also a time to celebrate progress that has been made in the fight against stroke and to renew our commitment to reducing the burden of stroke worldwide.”
