Stroke is a leading cause of disability, but its effects can be minimized if you get help right away. Learn the signs, then act quickly.

Is is a stroke? Think F.A.S.T.

Facial numbness or weakness – Ask person to smile
Arm weakness – Ask person to raise both arms
Speech disturbance – Ask person to speak a simple sentence
Time is of the essence; Call 911 and get to the hospital fast!
