Since 2014, the Stroke Program has been designating stroke-ready hospitals across the state so that all Minnesotans will ultimately live within 30 minutes of a hospital that is equipped and ready to provide the best stroke care possible.
Know how to spot a stroke
This system works best when people know the stroke signs and can act quickly to get that person care.
That’s why we’re encouraging hospitals and health systems across Minnesota to promote the signs and symptoms of a stroke and to call 9-1-1 to get to the hospital with the Every Second Counts Stroke Awareness Campaign. Click Here for Free Resources
With a unified, statewide campaign, the Minnesota Stroke Program hopes that more Minnesotans will take the best first step for the best outcomes.
