16th Annual Prisma Health Stroke Symposium-2026

October 2, 2026

The Stroke Symposium was started to meet the educational needs of providers and other clinical staff offering cerebrovascular and stroke care in the region. This event will be held live and is designed to cover topics that are addressed in the Joint Commission Disease Specific Care requirements for stroke center certification and to follow the published guidelines primarily from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association for acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Additionally, this event is designed to help support our stroke survivor community by raising funds to support community events for stroke survivors and caregivers. The event will also highlight the impact of stroke services on stroke survivors.
