This prologue makes clear the factors that provided incentive for creating the Joint Committee for Stroke Facilities to prepare and publish the series of articles appearing regularly in Stroke (beginning with the May-June, 1972, issue), best described by the general title of Guidelines for Stroke Care. It points out in admirable fashion the many facets of the disease and will serve to acquaint the reader with the comprehensive nature of the subjects discussed in the "Guidelines."
