It is crucial to raise awareness about recognizing the warning signs of a stroke. The acronym FAST stands for Face Drooping, Arm Weakness, Speech Difficulty, and it emphasizes the importance of Time to Call 911.

On World Stroke Day, attention is also given to stroke survivors for their resilience and bravery. One notable survivor, Rob Plaskas, is part of the staff and shares his story to motivate others.
