The Kansas Initiative for Stroke Survival (KISS) works to improve stroke and cardiovascular outcomes across Kansas through public education, healthcare collaboration, and quality improvement. Its mission is to strengthen stroke awareness, support survivors, and help ensure Kansans receive rapid, effective, evidence-based care when every minute matters. KISS partners with healthcare systems and emergency services to improve coordination and timely access to treatment, with the broader goal of reducing preventable deaths.

KISS provides resources for patients, hospitals, emergency medical services, and stroke coordinators, along with information about stroke during pregnancy and stroke treatment locations. Its educational offerings include First Tuesdays and Stroke Bootcamps, while KISS in Action and community events support engagement in stroke awareness and prevention. The organization also shares a stroke treatment map and event calendar to help visitors find useful information and upcoming programs. Through these resources and initiatives, KISS brings together communities and care providers to promote better stroke care throughout Kansas.
