Piedmont Augusta aims to bring awareness to stroke symptoms
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – It’s a “No Brainer” when it comes to raising stroke awareness.
On Wednesday, Piedmont Augusta held an event on its front lawn to educate people about strokes and what treatment looks like.
They even had a giant inflatable brain that visitors were able to walk through and see what a stroke does inside your head.
There was also educational giveaways and handouts as well as team members available to answer general questions about stroke and treatment capabilities.
Medical experts say when it comes to a stroke, think “FAST,” which stands for face, arms, speech and time.
Things like one side of your face drooping, being unable to lift both arms and slurred or altered speech are some of the most common signs of a stroke.
In any of these cases, you should seek immediate medical attention.
