Do you know the signs of a stroke?

May is American Stroke Month. Take a moment this month to educate yourself of the signs and symptoms of a stroke and what to do if someone you know exhibits the symptoms of a stroke. Rapid treatment of strokes is the key to a full recovery. With a stroke, time lost is brain lost.


The following diagram does an excellent job of outlining the warning signs. Review this yourself and share it with others.

If you find yourself in a situation where someone you know is showing the signs of a stroke, call 911 immediately. One of the most important pieces of information you can give emergency personnel when they arrive is how long the symptoms have been present for.
