Stroke Awareness Month 2023 will be all about recognizing the symptoms of stroke through our F.A.S.T. message and getting your Blood Pressure checked.
Half of all strokes are linked to high blood pressure. Knowing your blood pressure and controlling it with lifestyle changes and/or medication will reduce your risk of stroke.
This year we are partnering with the Stroke Foundation and their Blood Pressure Van and we will be at various locations throughout March.
