This scientific statement explores the essential role of rural-dwelling nurses in stroke care and the barriers they face. Rural-dwelling populations face higher stroke rates and worse outcomes due to limited access, geographic isolation, and higher rates of uncontrolled risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, obesity).

Nurses in rural settings play a central role in stroke prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation, often serving as first responders, educators, coordinators, champions and care leaders.
