Stroke Coordinators and their teams from throughout the region joined forces on September 27th at Trinity Health Stadium in East Hartford for Team Up Against Stroke Night. During the awareness event, over 300 giveaway bags were distributed to visitors.
A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age. Trinity Health Of New England’s team of stroke experts are committed to educating the community on how to spot stroke warning signs. One valuable tool they often teach is the acronym B.E.F.A.S.T.:
B – Balance: Watch for sudden loss of balance
E – Eyes: Check for vision loss
F – Face: Look for an uneven smile
A – Arm: Check if one arm is weak
S – Speech: Listen for slurred speech
T – Time: Call 9-1-1 right away
