The Latino Stroke Awareness Program has been designed to inform the Hispanic community of what stroke is, how to recognize symptoms and how to live a lifestyle that will prevent stroke. Hispanics are at risk of stroke due to high incidence of some major risk factors, including Diabetes, Obesity and High Cholesterol.

Hispanics & Health Care – Access, Information and Knowledge.
More than one-fourth of Hispanic adults in the U.S. lack a usual health care provider, and a similar proportion report obtaining no health care information from medical personnel in the past year. At the same time, more than eight in ten report receiving health information from media sources, such as television and radio, according to a Pew Hispanic Center survey of Latino adults, conducted in conjunction with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
