Scripps Health is celebrating World Stroke Day on Monday, November 16, by presenting I Am Woman: World Stroke Day Event at Scripps.

Women are more likely than men to suffer from a stroke. Learn about the stroke risks specific to women.

Scripps neurologist Mary Kalafut, MD, and a panel of experts, will be speaking at our La Jolla campus about stroke risks specific to women, stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Please feel free to share this information with any of your contacts that you feel would be interested. We will be serving light refreshments.
