Stroke Warning Signs

Gladys brought this information home from the adult day center that she attends and I thought it was good information to share. It is from the American Stroke Association.

Whether the stroke is your own or that of a friend, parent, child, spouse or loved one, your life is affected. Today there are a treatments that can reduce the risk of death or disability from stroke, that’s why it’s so important to know the warning signs and to call 9-1-1 immediately if you or someone else experiences them.
