Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability. Data from the American Stroke Association indicate that over 700,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year. Intermountain Stroke Center is dedicated to preventing, diagnosing and treating strokes. While many centers are concerned mainly with managing acute stroke, Intermountain Stroke Center focuses on aggressive prevention of future strokes with a combination of medications and changes in lifestyle. |
