Nurses are an integral part of the stroke team in every healthcare setting. On behalf of the 2009 International Stroke Conference Program Committee, I welcome your participation at all levels. Nursing science is valued highly in this meeting and we urge you to submit an abstract this year. – Dr. Patricia Hurn, ISC 2009 Program Committee Chair.
