Mission Statement
To raise awareness about stroke and enhance the quality of life for all people coping with its sudden and long-term effects.
About This Cause
The Minnesota Stroke Association (MSA) is the only state-wide nonprofit organization in Minnesota devoted solely to serving the needs of individuals affected by stroke through our mission to raise awareness about stroke and enhance the quality of life for all people coping with its sudden and long-term effects. We envision a world where all strokes are prevented and where non-preventable strokes are met with impassioned advocacy, extraordinary services, knowledgeable professionals, and quality choices. We work toward a Minnesota where everyone recognizes stroke, its causes and effects, and where all individuals living with stroke are encouraged to realize their full potential and their value to our community. Incorporated in January of 1992, the Minnesota Stroke Association (MSA) began as a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of stroke and providing advocacy services. The founders were stroke champions from Noran Neurological Clinic, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, and from the greater (non-medical) community. MSA became an affiliate of the National Stroke Association to raise awareness about stroke and focus on aphasia conversation groups to create community for those dealing with the effects of stroke. In January of 2010, the MSA completed an operational merger with the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance to bring together the expertise of the professional staff from each organization with specialized skill sets and knowledge to support individuals with stroke and brain injury. Today, MNBIA and MSA employ more than 75 professional staff and work with many volunteers who provide advocacy, education, resources and referral services for the over 97,000 Minnesotans who have had a stroke, their loved ones and the professionals who work with them.
