## Summary

**A national standardized EMS stroke education program** would create one evidence-based curriculum for all EMS roles to improve stroke recognition, pre-hospital care, and transport decisions. The bill focuses on underserved and rural areas and pairs nationwide training with grants, data tracking, and coordination with federal agencies and medical societies. - EMS providers would get a single, evidence-based curriculum covering stroke types, recognition scales, early on-scene care, and routing to certified stroke centers. Training includes interactive case studies and online options for remote responders. - Communities and patients, especially in rural and underserved areas, would get prioritized access to training and resources aimed at speeding recognition and transport to appropriate stroke centers. - State and local EMS agencies could compete for grants to deliver training and quality-improvement activities. The program would collect data on numbers trained, time-to-treatment, mortality, and transfers and would require an annual report to Congress starting two years after enactment.
