SAFE (Stroke Awareness for Everyone, Inc.) is an international Internet-centered coalition of stroke survivors and their families, in addition to doctors, nurses and therapists involved with stroke.
SAFE's fundamental purpose is to serve the needs for support and recognition of their stroke-affected members, who come from all over the world. Through their awareness efforts, SAFE seeks to be a voice for the stroke community, speaking out together about stroke—easily one of the most underrated and preventable medical crises of our times.
Stroke Awareness Foundation SAF strives to improve community awareness for stroke and its treatment through advocacy, education and public awareness programs in the community. For more information call them at: 408-879-8433.

The Stanford Stroke Center, one of the first comprehensive multidisciplinary centers of its kind, was established in 1992 to develop new approaches to diagnose and treat stroke. They assembled a team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, nurse specialists, basic scientists, and clinical researchers with the goal of significantly improving the chances that a patient can prevent, or recover optimally, from a stroke.
