WITH A STROKE, TIME LOST IS BRAIN LOST. STROKES ARE THE NUMBER THREE KILLER IN THIS COUNTRY, YET MANY PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. THEY DON’T KNOW THAT MORE OF THE BRAIN CAN BE SAVED IF A STROKE IS DETECTED AND TREATMENT IS RECEIVED IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT TREATED QUICKLY, ABILITIES AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE CAN BE LOST.
