Ban Together to Block Stroke |
PARTNERSHIP & CAMPAIGN
While stroke is a serious health concern for many
people, it disproportionately affects African-Americans.
That’s why the African-American Affairs Commission (AAAC)
has teamed up with the Connecticut Department of Public
Health (DPH) and the American Stroke Association to
increase awareness of stroke as a medical condition and
how to prevent it.
The partnership’s first public information campaign was
launched in May and will continue through June 2006.
Currently four African-American interest newspapers are
running stroke prevention advertisements. Sixteen radio
stations are broadcasting public service announcements
voiced by Channel 8’s Keith Kountz. Additional public
outreach, education and information efforts are in the
process of being planned.
