May is Stroke Awareness Month

Stroke is an Emergency. Act FAST and Call 9-1-1

Few in the U.S. know the warning signs of stroke. Learning them – and acting FAST when they occur – could save your life or the life of a loved one.

Use the FAST test to remember warning signs of stroke.

  • F = FACE Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
  • A = ARMS Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
  • S = SPEECH Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
  • T = TIME If you observe any of these signs (independently or together), call 9-1-1immediately.
