AR Stroke Registry

Advancing Stroke Care

The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), in collaboration with the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association, manages a stroke registry by collecting real-time data on stroke treatment from hospitals serving Arkansas. Using this data (without any personally identifiable patient information), the Arkansas Stroke Registry strives to accomplish the following:

  • Optimize the quality of stroke care for all Arkansans
  • Decrease death and disability associated with acute stroke
  • Reduce disparities in stroke patient care
  • Increase public awareness of stroke treatment and prevention

Measles Update: Get The Latest Measles Information Here

Measles, or rubeola, is a highly contagious, acute viral infectious disease caused by the measles virus. Some people think of measles as just a rash and fever that clears up in a few days; however, measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5-years-old.

The best protection against measles is the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection against all strains of measles.
