The Inequities in Access and Delivery of Acute Stroke Care Symposium is a day and a half virtual event during which diverse teams of public health and stroke experts will share findings on equity issues, known and unknown causes or obstacles, and best practices or possible solutions concerning stroke care. The Symposium encourages the participation, feedback, and new ideas from interested stakeholders and providers in the broader stroke community.
The long-term goals of the symposium include improving stroke systems of care, providing more efficient and effective treatments, increasing equity in access and care, and improving outcomes for all affected populations.

![Brain Attack Coalition graphic showing three Taskforces (Pre-Hospital Care, Hyper- or Acute-Care and In-Patient Care) with Cross-Cutting Themes including geography, policies/regulations, economics/healthcare resources and demographics 9race, ethnicity, gender)](/sites/default/files/styles/half_width_small/public/2022-09/BAC-taskforces-graphic.png?itok=-LfKTHcm)
A task force for each time epoch will share research and an assessment of the current landscape of the stroke care period according to 4 cross-cutting themes.
Symposium Goals
Improve stroke systems of care during pre-hospital/EMS, hyper-acute/ER, and in-patient care timepoints, including elucidating more efficient and effective treatments, increasing equity in access and care, and improving outcomes for all affected populations. Written proceedings from this Symposium will feature identification of disparities and their root causes, solutions, and tangible actions.
