Stroke Patient/Caregiver Experience Study

We want to improve emergency stroke care across the state of North Carolina. We are doing this by gathering information from individuals like you about emergency stroke services. Your perspective as a stroke patient or caregiver to a stroke patient in North Carolina will help us identify challenges in stroke care and develop effective solutions for those challenges.
