Strike Out Stroke

Youth Education on Stroke

Act F.A.S.T.

Awareness is critical! What if you could help save your life or someone else’s by knowing the signs of stroke? Once a stroke begins to present itself, Act FAST and dial 911 immediately - the more time that is wasted, the more functioning you could lose as a result – up to 1,900,000 brain cells a minute or worse - death. Act FAST when stroke strikes. Be aware of the signs of a stroke:

Face

Can you smile? Does one side of the face droop?

Arms

Can you raise both arms – or is one weak?

Speech

Is speech slurred?

Time

Call 911 if you have any one of these signs immediately! Don’t wait.
