FAST -- Save a life

 

Stroke -- there's treatment if you act FAST. Call 9-1-1 if you notice any of these signs of stroke:

Face. Does the person's face look uneven? Ask the person to smile.

Arm. Is one arm numb or hanging down? Ask the person to raise both arms.

Speech. Is there slurred or mixed up speech? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence.

Time. Call 9-1-1 now! If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call 9-1-1.

 

Do not ignore any of these signs -- even if they last only a short time! Call 9-1-1 right away.
