Virginia Stroke Systems Coordinator’s Consortium (VSSCC) Community EducationTue, 20 Jul 2010 01:00:00 -0600
One of the primary objectives of the VSSCC is to inform the community about stroke signs and symptoms and prevention. Members of the VSSCC submit Partner Activity Reports on a quarterly basis to document the community education performed across the state.
The AHA white paper on establishment of stroke systems of care recommends that we increase visibility of stroke by promoting the message of stroke including primary prevention.

Farewell to Keltcie Delamar - Forceful Advocate for the VSSTFWed, 25 Aug 2010 01:00:00 -0600
It was with very mixed emotions that the VSSTF bid farewell to Keltcie Delamar at the July meeting. While we wish Keltcie well in her new position with the AHA, she will be sorely missed . Keltcie’s vision, organizational skills and boundless energy have been invaluable in the development and growth of the VSSTF. In honor of her dedication to the Task Force, she was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Commendation for her tenacious efforts in developing, leading and advocating for excellence in stroke care within the Commonwealth. As an effective and compassionate leader, she is the model of commitment in promoting a healthier Virginia for all our citizens. Thank you Kelticie and good luck!
