Act FAST For a Stroke! Stroke is an emergency and a brain attack. Learn how to act FAST and call 911 at the first sign of stroke.
Recognizing stroke symptoms can be easy if you remember to think FAST. Use FAST to remember the warning signs:
F= Face Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
A= Arms Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S= Speech Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
T= Time If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 911
May is Stroke Awareness Month. The National Stroke Association has easy ways for you to learn more about stroke before it happens to you or someone else.
