Three ways to recognize if someone has had a Stroke:


Tip from Susan:  This is vital information I want you to have, and hopefully you will never need. If a person has had a stroke, the sooner he or she receives treatment, the better the chance of recovery.


Three Ways to Recognize if Someone has had a Stroke:

1) Ask the individual to SMILE;

2) Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS;

3) Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.

If the person has trouble with any of these tasks, call  9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
