MAY IS STROKE AWARENESS MONTH


VIM Partners with Rock On Society for Stroke Awareness Month

In recognition of Stroke Awareness Month, VIM is proud to partner with Rock On Society to launch a community-wide campaign focused on stroke education, prevention, and early detection — all while raising funds for Rock On Society’s HEARTSTRONG initiatives, which support local stroke and cardiac health programming.

Throughout May, VIM and Rock On Society will highlight educational resources, share inspirational stories, and invite the public to participate in fitness, fundraising, and wellness events designed for the whole family.

Why This Matters

  • 🕒 A stroke occurs every 40 seconds in the U.S.

  • ⚠️ Someone dies from a stroke every 3.5 minutes

  • 🧍 Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability

  • 👩‍⚕️ Stroke is the #3 cause of death in women and kills more women than men

  • 🛡️ Up to 80% of strokes are preventable

  • ⏱️ Early recognition and response can save lives — learn to BE FAST
