For more than 30 years National Stroke Association has made significant strides in the stroke community through programs of prevention treatment and post-stroke care and has empowered survivors and their circle of care to thrive after stroke.
Moore is passionate about stroke having witnessed first-hand the impact of stroke when her own father experienced a stroke. He was a Marine fighter pilot for 21 years and later an entrepreneur, who was extremely healthy, walking five miles a day and on his 75th birthday hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.
“The effects of stroke on his life at 79 years old have been monumental for him, my step mom and our entire family,” said Moore. “I’m excited to blend my development and nonprofit background with my personal passion for stroke in leading a team that creates support systems and other resources for stroke survivors and their road to recovery.”
Moore said she’s aware of the stroke community’s critical need for awareness of life-saving stroke warning signs, resources to guide and support survivors and their caregivers and professional education for healthcare providers.
Dr. Michael D. Walker, Chairman of National Stroke Association Board of Directors, said the board was impressed by Moore’s passion for stroke and expertise in both philanthropy and healthcare.
“We’re thrilled that Robyn is taking the helm of our national organization,” said Walker. “She not only brings a passion to make a difference in the stroke community but will lead the next phase of our strategic growth on a national scale.”
