Supporting stroke patients and their families
Stroke kills about 140,000 Americans each year—that’s 1 out of every 20 deaths. Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke. About 610,000 of these are first or new strokes. Those who are recovering from strokes need specific, often costly care.

the problem
Nature and Context help
Patients who have suffered from a stroke need all sorts of care and resources during recovery, including exercises to contribute to physio, occupational and speech therapy, a map of local medical and social services, and a library of relevant publications. These things are often expensive and that price tag prohibits many from receiving the care they deserve.
