Stroke Treatment in Pennsylvania

A few years ago I worked on a report on stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. It was a good report, and had the input and endorsement of some of the top stroke doctors in Pennsylvania (probably in the country). Here's the report, Brain Defense: A Stroke Prevention and Treatment Strategy for Pennsylvania.

Just saw today that PA House Bill 1400, which was introduced earlier this month, addresses strokes:

"Establishing a Statewide stroke system of care by recognizing primary stroke centers and directing the creation of emergency medical services training and transport protocols."

I'd kind of like to think that the sponsors took a look at our report. Or at least that Health committee staff did.
