The St. Maarten Heart and Stroke Foundation (SHSF) in collaboration with St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC), the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation (WYCCF) and Soualiga Medical Practice invites the public to enjoy an educational event titled “Life After a Stroke” on Saturday, July 6th from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm at the White and Yellow Cross in St. John’s Estate.

Heart disease and Stroke are the top causes of death in the world, comprising more than 30% of all deaths. This is far more than cancer for instance. And they will continue to dominate the number of deaths. What we see now in St. Maarten is just the tip of the iceberg. But the good news is that it is manageable and preventable.
