Developed in conjunction with the American Academy of Neurology, American Association of Neuroscience Nurses, American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, National Stroke Association and NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the campaign was announced at the International Stroke Conference at the beginning of February.
