Action on Stroke Month: Act FAST, Save Lives

Every minute counts when it comes to a stroke. This Action on Stroke Month, we’re raising awareness about the signs, the risks, and the power of acting quickly.

A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age. Knowing what to look for could save a life — maybe even your own.

Remember FAST:

Face – Has their face dropped on one side?

Arms – Can they raise both arms?

Speech – Is their speech slurred or confused?

Time – Call emergency services immediately.

The quicker a stroke is treated, the better the chances of recovery. Don’t wait. Don’t hesitate.

This month, act:

Learn the signs and share them with others

Check your blood pressure and overall health

Support stroke survivors and their families

Spread awareness in your community

Together, we can reduce the impact of stroke and save lives.
