Stroke is the No. 1 preventable cause of disability and the No. 5 cause of death in The United States; however, immediate medical treatment at the onset of symptoms can make a remarkable difference in recovering from a stroke. A new series of PSAs sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association features NBA All-Star Paul George, whose mother suffered a stroke when he was a child. The goal of this campaign is to increase immediate stroke recognition and response among potential victims and bystanders by equipping them with an easy-to-remember tool for learning the signs of a stroke. Using the acronym F.A.S.T. (F = Face drooping, A = Arm weakness, S = Speech difficulty, T = Time to call 911), the PSAs educate audiences on the importance of recognizing and calling 911 at the first signs of a stroke. Learn the signs at strokeassociation.org.
