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).

Glaucoma in Black adults: why screening can save your sight
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Black Americans, who develop primary open-angle glaucoma far more often than White Americans, earlier, and with faster progression. The disease is silent and steals peripheral vision first. This guide covers why it goes undetected, the real risk factors, what a full dilated eye exam involves, how often Black adults should be screened, and the treatments that protect vision.
