Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Every minute that goes by before a person is brought to an appropriate #stroke center for treatment increases that person’s chance of death or severe disability. That is why community education is paramount. While English-speaking communities rely on the “B.E.F.A.S.T.” stroke screening tool, there has never been a Spanish equivalent, until now. Please help us in educating Spanish-speaking friends, family and community members by sharing this tool.
This is also an amazing opportunity to review the B.E.F.A.S.T. screening tool for our English-speaking community. Would you know if a loved one was having a stroke? Please share these warning signs and call 911 immediately if you suspect a stroke.
