Today, on World Stroke Day, I want to draw attention to a critical health issue that affects countless lives around the world.
Strokes are a serious condition, and they can strike anyone, at any age. It's essential that we all understand the signs and symptoms and take steps to reduce our risk.
Let's use this day to spread awareness and promote a healthier, more stroke-conscious community. Please share this message, as knowledge is our greatest tool in helping people in our community.
I encourage everyone to learn about the signs of a stroke. Together, we can make a difference and save lives.
Stay informed, stay healthy:
Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is their speech slurred?
Time – even if you’re not sure, call 999.
