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.
