Be Stroke Aware Year ‘Round
As we wrap up the month designated for Stroke Awareness, let’s remember that it’s important to be mindful of our health and the symptoms of stroke every month. Every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke. According to the World Heart Federation, the global stats show that every year 15 million people suffer a stroke. Strokes are a leading cause of disability and they can result in death. A stroke is a “brain attack.” They occur if there is a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain.
