Being Stroke Smart Makes Our Community Strong
When a stroke occurs, every minute matters. Approximately 1.9 million brain cells die every minute a stroke goes untreated. The good news is strokes are very treatable if you get to the hospital quickly.
Knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke and calling 911 immediately can save a life.
