American Stroke Association (ASA) is the division of the American Heart Association that's solely focused on reducing disability and death from stroke through research, education, fund raising and advocacy. The American Heart Association created the American Stroke Association after many years of increasing emphasis on stroke. The American Heart Association spends more money on stroke research and programs than any other organization except the federal government.

The American Stroke Association’s goal is to reduce stroke and risk by 25 percent by 2010. The ASA envisions a world where stroke is minimized and ultimately eliminated as a major health problem. We look forward to a world where risk factors are reduced and rapid treatment is obtained. ASA strives to change the landscape of healthcare delivery so that optimal care and maximum recovery are achieved for those who do suffer a stroke.
