from the president When it comes to stroke, think fast Roughly every 45 seconds someone suffers a stroke. Because stroke is the third leading cause of death, time is of the essence when it comes to treatment. Knowing this, Euclid Hospital has applied for stroke certification. Being a stroke center means that we make exceptional efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care. This emphasizes our mission to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. Stroke awareness starts with you. If you suspect that a loved one is having a stroke you have to act FAST. Here are some signs to look for: Face: Weakness or a drooping, crooked smile; sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes Arms: Weak or drooping arm Speech: Slurred speech, or inability to understand or be understood, inability to speak Time: Call 9-1-1 immediately Sincerely, euclid Hospital 18901 lake Shore Blvd. euclid, OH 44119 216.531.9000 Fred M. deGrandis President and ceO cleveland clinic Regional Hospitals Joanne Zeroske, BSN, MBa, RN President, euclid Hospital ccHS – eaSt ReGION executIve cOMMIttee Ronald J.
