Did you know? Stroke is a "BRAIN ATTACK."
 
Stroke requires emergency treatment. Fewer than 5% of stroke patients receive t-PA, a life-saving clot-buster treatment. You only have 3 hours from the onset of stroke symptoms to receive t-PA. Get help FAST.

Stroke Symptoms include:
 

• SUDDEN numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg - on one side of the body.
• SUDDEN confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
• SUDDEN trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
• SUDDEN trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
• SUDDEN severe headache with no known cause.

 
Call 9-1-1 immediately if you have any of these symptoms
Note the time you experienced your first symptom.
