Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards - National Stroke Association

I think my readers should nominate me and put in the reason; 'Dean is raising awareness of all the problems in stroke needing solutions on how to get 100% recovered.' This awareness crapola is just pure laziness. Until the NSA actually deserves Stroke in their name they need to be completely shamed on doing nothing for stroke survivors. 

Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards - National Stroke Association

The Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards annually recognize individuals and groups from across the country for taking stroke awareness activities to new heights. Awards are given in several categories and recognize people engaged in community-level awareness activities directly supporting the National Stroke Association’s mission.(Our mission is to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke by delivering education and other programs focused on the prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and support for all impacted by stroke.)(Well you are completely failing your mission, wrong mission anyway; It should be 100% recovery for all. Are you too CHICKENSHIT to attempt that?)
What do stroke survivors want?  Recovery
When do they want it? NOW

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 
Politeness will never solve anything in stroke.

Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards - National Stroke Association

I bet not a single one of these awards will be for raising awareness of all the failures in stroke.  I don't even know why stroke is in their name, they are doing nothing to solve ANY of the problems in stroke. Well Aurora contact me and we can discuss NSA failures.

1. Only 10% of patients get to full recovery.
2. tPA only fully works to reverse the stroke 12% of the time. Known since 1996.
3. No protocols to prevent your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
4. Nothing to alleviate your fatigue.
5. Nothing that will cure your spasticity.
6. Nothing on cognitive training unless you find this yourself.
7. No published stroke protocols.
8. No way to compare your stroke hospital results vs. other stroke hospitals.

Raising awareness about stroke in your community can take on many different forms - National Stroke Association

What a fucking pile of garbage from the NSA. The ONLY awareness that should be shouted from the rooftops is that everything in stroke is a fucking failure. This is done for the same reason that hospitals stress their stroke 'care', not results. It looks like you are doing something but not really. Just conscience laundering.

Raising awareness about stroke in your community can take on many different forms - National Stroke Association

Dear dean,

Raising awareness about stroke in your community can take on many different forms. What do these three have in common?

• The Southern Indiana Hospital hosts its 20th Annual Adventure Day Camp for stroke survivors.
• The Aphasia Tones Choir performs three to six concerts a year to raise awareness about aphasia.
• Kristi Wright organizes a 5K run/walk in memory of her mother to raise funds for National Stroke Association.

Nominate Now

They are all 2015 winners of National Stroke Association’s Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards.

You or someone you know could be next to win one of the annual RAISE Awards!

Chose from six different categories and recognize an individual or group who has made an effort in stroke awareness.

Take time today to nominate your stroke champion. Deadline for nominations is Aug. 31.
