Virtual Conference

Join Us!
April 28-30th, 2023

Welcome!

Founded in February, 2019, we are an organization of health professionals and scientists who care about stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases in childhood.   We developed out of our original collaborative network, the International Pediatric Stroke Study (IPSS), and now aim to broaden the scope of our mission beyond research.

IPSO is bringing together leading investigators and health professionals from around the globe, and from multiple disciplines, with a common interest in childhood cerebrovascular disease. Experts across related fields will collaborate to advance knowledge on mechanisms of childhood stroke and stroke recovery with an eye towards preventing stroke and improving outcomes. IPSO will disseminate knowledge and best practices to first-line medical providers for the wider benefit of children with stroke worldwide. Throughout, IPSO will engage affected families to set priorities and advocate for children at risk for stroke or afflicted by stroke.

Starting in May 2023, IPSO Kid Stroke Connections will be published on a quarterly basis on the IPSO Community Website. Sign-up for the IPSO Kid Stroke Connections newsletter to be notified when new content is available online.

Working Groups

From summer 2019 through spring 2020, the IPSO working group will draft the IPSO charter that will outline the organizational structure and governance, and establish subcommittee goals, charges, and timelines.

Memberships

The official IPSO membership drive will launch in the fall of 2019.  We are calling on all clinical and research professionals wordwide who care about childhood stroke and cerebrovascular disease to join us.
