About the SAYA Consortium
The SAYA U.S. National Consortium is a collaboration of stroke survivors and caregivers, stroke clinicians, and clinical researchers to advanced research, education and policy efforts, and best practices to improve the care and support of young stroke survivors in the U.S. The SAYA Consortium meets as a full group on a quarterly basis via Zoom and annually in person at the American Heart Association-American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference. Members are encouraged to work with other Consortium members on multicenter studies, collaborative writing projects, and contributions to the SAYA YoungStrokeStrong YouTube Channel to share knowledge and experiences to help young stroke survivors and their supporters.
