P-038 Demographic disparities in proximity to certified stroke care in the United States

ConclusionsDisparities in proximity to stroke care were worse in non-urban areas than in urban areas. Non-urban census tracts with greater representation of elderly, American Indian, or uninsured persons, or low median income, were substantially more distant from certified stroke care. Quantifying disparities in proximity to timely stroke care can inform ongoing efforts for infrastructure improvements that reduce inequalities in access to care.Disclosures C. Yu: None. T.
