Through the Utah Health Story Bank Bernice shared her story about stroke in hopes that it would help others. Too often, health issues are talked about in dollars and cents and the real people affected are forgotten. The Utah Department of Health is collecting stories to put a face on today's health issues. Real people, and their stories help to simplify complex issues for the public. Who knows maybe it’s your story that will help increase awareness and promote better health in your community.

If you or someone you care about has been affected by heart disease or stroke we want to hear from you.
