The Angela Dione Foundation was created in 2005 in response to a growing and devastating epidemic that affects hundreds of thousands of families every year. Historically, stroke and brain injury awareness has been limited. People know that strokes happen, and know that the effects can be severe, even deadly. But for many, brain injuries are shrouded in mystery. There is little understanding about the cause, or the cure – or the possibility of living a full, rich life after suffering a massive stroke.

Stroke and brain injury survivors can be rehabilitated and overcome their affliction with a high quality of living. But to do so, they need care, support, and solutions from people who understand their needs and want to help.

The Angela Dione Foundation exists to promote stroke and brain injury awareness, to help those in need, and to care for the sufferers and their families.

The purpose of the Angela Dione Foundation is to build a bridge to the community of support, help, and hope for sufferers of brain injury and stroke; to care for survivors and their families, and share the experience together; and give voice to this silent epidemic, both in the medical community and in the world.

Our vision is to see the Angela Dione Foundation make a lasting impact in the world of brain injury, and in the lives those affected by it. We hope that these specific goals, as part of our greater vision, become a reality.
