Register now to attend this FREE Program!
Can you identify a stroke if you saw someone having one? Do you know what the symptoms are? Do you know what to do in a stroke emergency? This FREE program is a great way to find out no matter what your age – anyone around you could experience a stroke. Join us Monday, May 19 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon to learn how to keep your cool in a stroke emergency and other information that could help save a life!
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States and leading cause of disability. However, research shows the public remains unaware of stroke’s warning signs and the needs for immediate medical attention, even if the symptoms subside.
Surviving a stroke can have an overwhelming impact, not only on the survivor, but on everyone who cares about them. Knowing your risk and controlling what you can is the best defense against having a stroke.
Come hear this important information and learn the warning signs for stroke from Dr. Kevin S. Campbell and Occupational Therapist Carolyn E. Pendergast.
The stroke education program will take place at Messiah Lutheran Church, 6900 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, Tennessee.
