Power to End Stroke Initiative

SNPhA has partnered with the American Stroke Association (ASA) to reach the American Heart Association's (AHA) goal "to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent" by 2020. This Initiative aims to do so by providing education and increasing awareness about stroke and its risk factors, especially in under-served communities.

SNPhA holds blood pressure screenings in local pharmacies, smoking cessation clinics, participation in health fairs, and educational seminars.
