Probably it is due to the proportion of the residents who have been shown to be more susceptible to having a stroke, based on their ethnic background. Any other possibilties?

What about access to care? Certain states have huge underserved areas due to various circumstances.

The more important question to me is how to decrease the differences in stroke rates between states?

To address the differences, I think you have to start with equal access of care.

Equal access is good but why not prevent the problem in the first place? Preventative medicine is a top priority in my opinion.

The US medical jobs market has stayed hot for health care providers. Whether you believe
that a provider shortage is in the offing or that the ratio of physicians-to-patients
is too high, physician
jobs and nursing jobs abound.
A wide variety of medical jobs can be found in the netdoc health care job listings. Particular strengths include permanent and locum tenens physician jobs, nursing jobs across the US, and radiology positions.
