What is The Stroke Network? Where did it come from? Who are the
people that work there? Read the FAQ if you would like to know.
Just what is FAQ? I've seen it on the Internet several times
but I've never understood what it stood for. What is FAQ and why
does our organization have these letters? FAQ is an acronym for
Frequently Asked Questions. It's basically questions that most
people are going to ask if they want to know about your web site
and service.
Our organization has a FAQ in order to give you some
background information and insight into our organization. The
FAQ is linked from virtually every single page on our whole web
site. If you scroll down the page and look on the left column
you will see a button with a question mark. Click on the button
and you will be hyperlinked to our FAQ web page.
You will learn about the formation of our organization and
it's history. You can find out who are our partners and learn
about our basic policies. Most of the frequently asked questions
can be found here but if you have more please let us know. The
print version of this newsletter is available at the website.
Contents of this newsletter may not otherwise be reprinted
