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.
40% of stroke survivors have moderate to severe impairments which require special care
