As you may know, the AAN was a partner in the Stroke Collaborative with the American Stroke Association and the American College of Emergency Physicians that developed the “Give Me 5 for Stroke” campaign and patient education materials. A packet containing attached documents will be mailed to all members of Stroke and Vascular Neurology, Interventional Neurology and Critical Care and Emergency Neurology sections of the AAN in the next couple of weeks. For more information about the Stroke Collaborative initiative, please visit  http://giveme5forstroke.com/.
