B.E. F.A.S.T. - Know the signs of a stroke and how to respond

Responding quickly is important because in the first minute of a stroke, the brain loses an estimated 1.9 million cells, which means every minute counts. 

B.E. F.A.S.T. and call 911 when you see these signs:

  • Balance problems     
  • Eye (vision loss)
  • Face drooping
  • Arm weakness
  • Speech problems
  • Time to act
