                  Are You Having a Stroke?

                  According to the National Stroke Association, a stroke is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and the leading cause of serious, long-term adult disability. This year, a stroke will occur every 40 seconds and will take a life every four hours. Two million brain cells die every minute during stroke, increasing the risk of permanent brain damage, disability or death.

                  Recognizing symptoms and acting F.A.S.T. can save a life and decrease the chances of permanent disabilities.

                  Know the symptoms:

                  • Confusion or difficulty speaking/understanding
                  • Difficulty swallowing
                  • Sudden loss of vision
                  • Sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis of the face or on one side of the body
                  • Sudden severe headache
                  • Unexplained dizziness and/or loss of balance

                  Act F.A.S.T.

                  • Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
                  • Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
                  • Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
                  • Time: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

                  If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
