Reduce your risk of stroke
About 780,000 Americans each year suffer a stroke. And stroke kills more than 150,000 people a year, making it the No. 3 cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.

Dr. Kamakshi Lakshminarayan, a University of Minnesota neurologist, explains what you should do to lower your risk.

Public Health Moment is a weekly 90-second health segment featuring our public health experts.
