Deans' stroke musings: Encompass Health Sponsoring AHA/ASA Stroke Initiative Beginning 2019

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Encompass Health Sponsoring AHA/ASA Stroke Initiative Beginning 2019

Lazy, lazy, lazy. Education! There are no evidence based rehab protocols. Fucking whoopee! You aren't addressing survivor needs at all you goddamn lazy bastards.

Encompass Health Sponsoring AHA/ASA Stroke Initiative Beginning 2019

As part of American Stroke Month, Encompass Health Corp, formerly known as HealthSouth Corp, announces its launch of a strategic sponsorship of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Together To End Stroke campaign.

The sponsorship is a 3-year commitment that will begin in January 2019, following the completion of Encompass Health’s national rebranding initiative.

During the Together To End Stroke campaign, Encompass Health and AHA/ASA will work together to educate Americans via providers, patients, and the community that stroke is largely preventable, treatable, and beatable. (Stroke is not treatable or beatable, 10% full recovery proves that.)

The campaign will specifically focus on increasing education regarding evidence-based rehabilitation in order to increase independence. The aim is to transition more patients back to their communities with greater functional recovery, develop evidence-based tools to inspire hope in the stroke community, and reduce stroke mortality across the US, notes a media release from Encompass Health Corp.

“For years, we have had strong relationships with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association in our local hospital markets. Sponsorship of Together To End Stroke is a perfect opportunity to take our commitment to the national level and allow us to impact even more stroke survivors and caregivers throughout the country,” states Mark Tarr, president and CEO of Encompass Health, in the release.

“We look forward to working alongside the American Stroke Association to combat stroke through this partnership and continuing to lead the charge in stroke recovery.”

In 2017, Encompass Health rehabilitation hospitals served more than 30,000 stroke patients throughout its geographic footprint of 36 states and Puerto Rico, according to the release.
