The Stroke Act authorizes the federal government to conduct research and support programs aimed at improving stroke care quality across the United States. The bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to fund research on delivery of stroke care, establish a national stroke registry to collect standardized data on stroke treatment and outcomes, and support grants that help hospitals and communities improve stroke care coordination and emergency response. The legislation also funds a public education campaign to promote stroke prevention and encourage people to seek immediate treatment, recognizing that stroke occurs every 40 seconds in the U.S. and is a leading cause of disability and death. The bill authorizes a total of $25 million in funding across four years, from fiscal years 2027 through 2032, distributed among research, data collection, systems improvement, and public education initiatives.
