ATHENS β Almost 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. African Americans and other people of color have a substantially higher risk of experiencing a stroke than their white counterparts. And theyβre also significantly more likely to die from those strokes.
But black patients are significantly less likely to receive the gold standard of stroke care, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
