June is Stroke Awareness Month!
Do you know the signs? F.A.S.T. stands for:
- Face drooping,
- Arms heavy,
- Slurred speech,
- Time to call (is critical…act FAST!)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is blocked. Brain cells start to die causing disability and often death. That’s the bad news, the good news is that this can be prevented!
