While the vast majority of strokes still occur among people over 65, data shows strokes are increasing rapidly among young people and adults in their 30s and 40s. It was her own experience with a stroke at the age of 43 that led Amy Edmunds of Conway to form Young Stroke, Inc., a nonprofit tax-exempt organization for adult stroke survivors between the ages of 20 and 64 and their caregivers. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Edmunds, for Insight, about the special needs of young stroke survivors and how her organization serves them. You can hear the program Sunday evening, Feb. 19th, at 6:00 PM, Wednesday night, Feb. 22nd, at midnight, and again Sunday night, Feb. 26th, at 6:00 PM.
