Stroke is not something to laugh about, but sometimes laughter is the best way to get your message across.

“Stroke’s No Joke” is our new public service announcement campaign featuring comedy with a life-saving punchline. We urge at-risk African Americans and bystanders to call 911 at the first sign of a stroke. Emergency medical treatment may be greatly reduce long-term disability caused by a stroke. We developed this campaign using all media outlets and now it’s an on going comedy tour.
