EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS
Dear Colleague:
The American Heart Association (AHA) respectfully requests your support of our Stroke Coordinator
Boot Camp. The Great Rivers Affiliate will be hosting three workshops all in April 2014 with Exhibitor
opportunities available at all three locations.
Target Audience: As the lead facilitator of stroke care across the continuum the Stroke Coordinator
collaborates with stroke team members using evidence-based practice to organize and deliver stroke services
and facilitate optimal outcomes for stroke patients. This educational activity is designed to enhance the skills of
the stroke coordinator, provide best practices for improving stroke care and promote networking with
professionals across the region.
The following pages contain the locations, dates, agenda, speakers and a commitment form for the
three Stroke Coordinator Boot Camps located in the Greater Cincinnati (Mason) area, Pittsburgh area
(Meadow Lands) and the Philadelphia area (King of Prussia). If you feel that your company would be
interested in a territory other than yours or you are not the right person please forward this document to the
appropriate representative for review.
Your financial support is essential to the AHA’s professional education mission: To focus Continuing
Professional Education Programs on emerging research and improvement of clinical competence,
performance and enhanced patient outcomes for the prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular
disease and stroke.
