 Stroke Rates Among Hispanic Individuals
  • The Hispanic population has experienced an increase in stroke incidence since 2013.
  • A CDC report showed that just 58% of Hispanic adults could identify symptoms of a stroke, compared to their Black (64%) and white (71%) peers.
  • Stroke ranks as the fourth leading cause of death for Hispanic men and the third for Hispanic women in the U.S.
Disparities in Care
  • In studies that detected racial disparities in emergency services, EMS usage was lower by as much as 40% in Hispanic patients.
  • A greater proportion of white patients (37.4%) were estimated to arrive within 3 hours from onset of stroke symptoms than Hispanic (28.9%) patients.
  • Hispanic patients had the highest rate of discharge to home without home health care services (49.1%) and the lowest rate of facility-based rehabilitation service utilization after stroke.
  • In border states, Hispanic individuals who experienced ischemic stroke were 30% more likely to suffer in-hospital mortality vs. their non-Hispanic counterparts.
Why Is Stroke an Emergency?
  • Nearly 2 million brain cells die every minute that an ischemic stroke goes untreated.
  • Not all strokes are the same, which means each requires unique treatment at specialized stroke centers from highly trained stroke care teams.
Lowering Chance of Lifelong Disability or Death
  • Know the signs of stroke and call 911 immediately. Modeled after BE FAST, the Spanish acronym RÁPIDO was created to raise awareness of stroke symptoms in the Hispanic community.
