Our Vision

Delaware currently has the highest stroke mortality rate compared to other states. We also have the largest aging population.

That’s why at Shine A Light On Stroke, we feel extremely compelled to educate our neighbors. We hope to lessen the number of strokes that occur in our community and build a healthier future for all.

Our Goals

  • Provide 3 in person support groups throughout the State of Delaware: Wilmington, Dover, and Sussex County

  • Host an event in Sussex County

  • Offer gatherings focused on the mental health of stroke caregivers

  • Host a Free Health Fair in Wilmington, DE including stroke screenings, education, and resources at an accessible location for the homeless

  • Host a conference for the stroke community (survivors, caregivers, and health care professionals), with a focus on cognitive fatigue and brain fog and return to work post stroke
