CHRC collaborated with Sutter Health Stroke Services to bring you more information on the dangers of stroke, especially during this time of inactivity and disrupted routines.
Every 40 seconds, a person in the United States has a stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States and affects around 800,000 Americans each year.
This is a presentation and panel aimed to show how to recognize signs and symptoms (think BEFAST), types, causes, treatment options including medications, importance of a healthy lifestyle, risk factors reduction, stroke prevention, and more.
Speakers:
Claude Nguyen, MD – Sutter Health Stroke Neurologist
Eric Pancoska R.N. – Sutter Health Stroke Nurse Coordinator
Guest: Stroke Survivor
