Stroke is the fourth most common cause of death in Michigan. The Michigan Stroke Initiative (MSI) is a coalition of experts in stroke who were convened to address the burden of stroke in Michigan and to recommend strategies for reducing the burden. Since its inception in 1997, MSI has accomplished a great deal but much remains to be done.
