East End Libraries Present: Stroke Awareness, via Zoom

Know the signs of a stroke!  Dr. Olga McAbee, Director of Neurology and the Stroke Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, will speak about the different types and the causes of strokes, and how to spot a stroke in its early stages – face drooping, arm weakness, difficulty with speech – to know when it’s time to call 911.  Being aware of the signs of a stroke, and acting quickly to seek medical attention, can make all the difference for a successful recovery. Be aware of the signs for yourself – and for your friends and loved ones.
