HjerneTryg Alliance – en fælles indsats for at øge viden om stroke

Hvert år rammes 12.000 danskere af stroke – også kendt som en hjerneblødning eller blodprop i hjernen. Stroke kan i mange tilfælde forebygges. Mange genkender dog ikke de hyppigste symptomer på stroke, og kommer for sent i akut behandling.
Hjernesagen vil med kommunale, regionale og civilsamfundsaktører gå sammen i en fælles Alliance for at forebygge stroke, styrke kendskabet til symptomer og sikre rettidig behandling – særligt blandt sårbare og udsatte borgere.
Målet er styrke ligheden i forebyggelse og behandling af stroke samt mindske antallet af strokes i Danmark for at reducere personlige og samfundsmæssige omkostninger.

Vil du være med?

HjerneTryg Alliance er et samarbejde, som går på tværs af kommuner, regioner, private aktører og civilsamfundet – og vi inviterer hermed din organisation til at være med! 

Sammen vil vi udvikle specifikke og lokalt tilpassede indsatser, der udbreder viden om forebyggelse og øger kendskabet til symptomer på stroke. Alliancen vil blive en platform for gensidig inspiration og læring blandt alle vores alliancepartnere, hvor vi sammen afprøver bæredygtige og borgernære sundhedsindsatser på strokeområdet.
