Yale School of Medicine’s chapter of Stamp Out Stroke is a community outreach initiative led by students from Yale School of Medicine in collaboration with members from the Division of Vascular Neurology. Stamp Out Stroke brings together students from Yale’s health professions schools, postgraduate trainees, and residents from the Department of Neurology, as well as Vascular Neurology faculty. Members of this initiative are united by a shared goal of preventing stroke through education on risk factors, symptom recognition, and the importance of seeking emergency care.
We work closely with Yale New Haven Hospital’s chapter of SOS to reach community members across greater New Haven through education presentations, health fairs, blood pressure screenings, and community-based research.
