Who We Are
The Henry Clark Stroke Foundation, started in Dec 2000 by Barbara Lewis Clark, is the first foundation in the state of Michigan to promote stroke awareness. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public organization that is dedicated to the prevention of stroke through education.
WELCOME
Greetings From the Henry Clark Stroke Foundation!
We wish you good health, wealth, and peace. Thank you for acknowledging our efforts to educate people about stroke prevention. In 2014, the Henry Clark Stroke Foundation launched our "STROKE NO JOKE!®" videos on the Henry Clark Stroke Foundation's YouTube channel and in Secretary of State offices in Michigan. And we will continue with our free programs while reaching out on social media to help people better understand stroke.
The focus of our website is Stroke Awareness. The Henry Clark Stroke Foundation's Mission is to prevent strokes through education. Many strokes are preventable with knowledge, lifestyle changes, and medication. Therefore, we are not involved in research. Our services are provided for free to everyone. One of our goals for 2021 is to reach more people from around the world. Please help by inviting us to promote stroke awareness to your group.
Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to serve you, your family, and your friends. Our deepest gratitude to donors and the many expert speakers that have given their time and hearts to the Henry Clark Stroke Foundation. Special "Thank you" to the Detroit VA Medical Center; organizations; churches, and community centers that have invited us to promote stroke awareness. We are dedicated to continuing Henry's dream and work of educating people about stroke. Henry once said, “I do not want anyone else to suffer a stroke.” So, please join us as we prepare for our 20th year. Let's Talk Stroke cause STROKE NO JOKE!®.
Henry's Death:
Henry O. Clark, Jr. died July 3, 2001, at Detroit Medical Center Harper Hospital in Detroit at 51 years old. He was the face/spokesperson for Harper Hospital's stroke program. It appears to be an intentional death caused by the two nurses (who had a problem with this face being the spokesperson), two doctors (Dr. James Glazier was more interested in a wealthy (per Dr. Glazier) patient), and the hospital. Dr. Glazier was the only one not deposed by our attorney, maybe because he worked for the Detroit FBI.
Mr. Clark did NOT receive antibiotics prior to his gallbladder surgery. An infection occurred and spread throughout his body. And a hematoma (local swelling or tumor filled with effused blood) occurred. After surgery, Mr. Clark was not placed on a post-surgery floor to get the proper medical care. NO ONE came to help him when his room light was on and when he complained that he could NOT breathe. The two nurses, Nenio and Piper, only talked smartly to Henry. "Go to sleep. You are just tense," stated Nurse Nenio. When Henry asked Nurse Piper for an oxygen mask because he was having difficulty breathing, she said "NO" as they over coagulant him with a blood thinner.
He BLED for TWO DAYS and then died on July 3, 2001. Nurse Piper transferred to St. Joseph Hospital. I must give credit to the anti-coagulant team for their efforts to get the nurses to lower the blood thinner. The nurses would lower the blood thinner and then increase the level to where Henry felt dizzy. A huge cover-up followed the death of Henry.
The cover-up was to spread the lie throughout the city, county, state, and country where Henry suffered a second stroke. HE DID NOT! HENRY came through the surgery, up walking and talking. This cover-up included two well-known black organizations that receive funds from Detroit Medical Center; the State of Michigan Department of Community Health and others. An autopsy was performed at Harper Hospital per Mrs. Clark’s request.
The death certification on Henry's Death page lists hemorrhage for two-three days. Henry's body may not have gone to the Wayne County Examiner. They presented a form that stated Henry died of "natural causes." Lie. I NEVER gave up hope of getting justice for my husband, and my determination is as strong as ever. In 2011, Detroit Medical Center filed a motion to "Dismiss with Prejudice" in U.S. Federal Court in Detroit. Judge Roberts modified her order to "Dismiss Without Prejudice." Mrs. Clark was unaware of this action until late 2014 when Henry's name was googled.
