What it does
The Stroke Act would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct research and data collection to improve stroke care quality, including supporting a national stroke registry and funding grants for stroke prevention, education, and care coordination. It affects hospitals, public health agencies, emergency medical services, and nonprofit organizations involved in stroke care by authorizing grants to expand data collection, improve treatment protocols, and enhance public awareness. The bill authorizes annual appropriations totaling $25 million from fiscal years 2027 through 2032 for research, registry grants, care system improvements, and prevention campaigns, with requirements to avoid duplicating existing federal efforts and to maintain patient privacy standards.
