I am partnering with the American Heart Association and chairing the 2019 Heart and Stroke Ball to celebrate the work Rhode Island Medical Imaging and Rhode Island Hospital has done over the past 3 years to transform stroke care delivery.

In the United States:

  • Someone has a stroke every 40 seconds,
  • Every 4 minutes someone dies from stroke,
  • Stroke is the #1 cause of disability and…
  • the #5 cause of death.
  • But in Rhode Island, we actually have a cure for some strokes.

85% of strokes are ischemic strokes – strokes caused by a blocked blood vessel – and the most severe ischemic strokes are emergent large vessel occlusions (ELVOs). Without proper treatment, 75% of ELVO stroke patients will die or be disabled.

Early access to the cure - a surgical procedure called mechanical thrombectomy - at a Level I or Comprehensive Stroke Center can directly remove the clot and enable patients to return home and their normal lives.

In partnership with Rhode Island EMS professionals, I have worked tirelessly over the past 3 years to provide Rhode Islanders with more timely access to this life-saving procedure - mechanical thrombectomy - than anywhere else in the United States and the world.

But wouldn't it be even more amazing if we reduced the need for mechanical thrombectomy?

Live Longer and More Healthfully

Unlike any other time in history, we have an opportunity to leverage technology to motivate people to stop smoking, eat better, get active, lose weight, manage their blood pressure and control their cholesterol and blood sugar – Life’s Simple Seven. 

Please join Carolanne and me at the 2019 Southern New England Heart and Stroke Ball as we celebrate the best regional stroke care delivery in the world and map a course for better population health and healthcare value!

Thank you for all your support!

Ryan and Carolanne
