In recognition of Stroke Awareness Month, the Northwestern Ontario Regional Stroke Network expresses gratitude to all regional partners for their unwavering commitment to providing high-quality stroke care to patients and their families. In Canada, stroke strikes every five minutes and remains the third leading cause of death and the primary cause of disability. It’s crucial to acknowledge the dedicated efforts of those in stroke care, so if you know someone in this field, please express your appreciation for their hard work and dedication!
