Stroke Awareness Speaker's Bureau May 12, 2011

Stroke affects an estimated 700,000 people annually, and is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in adults. According to the National Stroke Association (NSA), up to 80 percent of all strokes can be prevented if detected early.

Join us at a FREE seminar as board certified neurologist Jonathan Hodgson, D.O., and Medical Director of Mercy Gilbert Medical Center’s Stroke Center discusses acute stroke management and signs and symptoms of stroke.

The following are controllable factors that can place you at risk of having a stroke:
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Tobacco use and smoking
• Alcohol
• Physical inactivity
• Obesity

This event is free and dinner will be provided.
