Innovation in Stroke Care
Over the past decade, the Institute has advanced rigorous research, developed innovative care models, and expanded public stroke education. Teams are pioneering AI-enabled telerehabilitation tools, advancing Brain Health MRI methods, and leading national clinical trial enrollment through the StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Center.
Education & Training
Education and training remain central to the Institute’s mission. Through accredited continuing education courses, expert-led symposia, monthly seminars, and two active journal clubs, the Institute equips clinicians, trainees, and researchers with cutting-edge knowledge in stroke care.
Global Health Initiatives
The Institute’s impact extends across the globe, from stroke awareness initiatives in El Salvador and the Philippines to culturally adapted telerehabilitation programs in Nepal and Vietnamese-language stroke recognition tools in the United States.
Stories of Impact
The People Behind Our Progress
Our work is made meaningful by the patients, families, researchers, and trainees who drive progress in stroke care. Their stories reflect the real-world impact of our research, education, and community partnerships.

When Derrick suffered his stroke, we feared we had lost the man we knew and loved. Through the research studies with Emily and her incredible team, Derrick has not only regained his physical strength but has reclaimed his dignity, confidence, and his life. We have our husband, our friend, and our dad back — and that is nothing short of a miracle. We are forever grateful for the compassionate, life-changing work being done through this research.

About the SUPER Study
The SUPER study is a clinical trial addressing arm weakness after a stroke. Participants are involved in an intensive 3-week therapy program and have multiple assessments over a 6 month timeframe. We are grateful to all the participants who contributed to this important research.
Education and Collaboration
Building Knowledge for Better Stroke Care
From our annual Yatsu Day Symposium to ongoing research and training, the Institute brings together clinicians, researchers, and trainees to share ideas, discover new approaches, and improve lives after stroke.
Growing. Advancing. Thriving.
After ten years, the Institute continues to build on a shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, education, and community impact.
