Stroke is a devastating disease that often strikes very suddenly. Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and the third-leading cause of death in theUnited States. About 6.4 million Americans are living with stroke, and strokes are very common, affecting 4 out of 5 American families. The estimated cost of stroke this year in U.S is $73 billion. St. Catherine was proud to support the event which raises stroke awareness and prevention.
