Black patients and Neurology
Black neurologists: stroke, epilepsy, MS, migraine, dementia. Black adults have twice the stroke mortality, and early neuro care matters.
Stroke kills Black Americans at roughly twice the rate of white Americans, and Black adults are more likely to have a first stroke before age 55 (AHA/ASA, 2023). Black Americans are also nearly 3 times more likely to have an undiagnosed stroke and 40 percent more likely to die from one. Neurologists handle stroke recovery and prevention, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, migraine, Parkinson's, neuropathy, and dementia.
Multiple sclerosis was long thought to primarily affect white patients, but recent research shows Black patients often have more aggressive disease courses and disability progression (Langer-Gould, Neurology, 2013).
