Elsie Stanek & Kevin Lee - Stroke Recognition
The presentation focused on recognizing the signs and symptoms of stroke. Medication and surgical intervention are now available for stroke treatment. Outcomes are better if the treatment is administered quickly. The Club was encouraged to call 911 if you think someone is having a stroke. You will receive treatment quicker if you go by ambulance. EMTs will conduct a stroke assessment and call ahead so treatment can begin immediately upon arrival at the hospital.
