When it comes to stroke, every minute matters. Knowing the warning signs and acting quickly could save a life or prevent a lifelong disability.
In this episode of the We Are Valley podcast, we sit down with Dr. Michael Previti, Stroke Medical Director at Valley Medical Center & Clinics, to discuss how to recognize a stroke, why calling 911 immediately is so important, and how Valley’s coordinated stroke care team works together to give patients the best possible chance at recovery.
We also explore why stroke isn’t just a concern for older adults, what recovery can look like, and the everyday steps you can take to lower your risk, from managing blood pressure to getting more sleep and exercise.
Whether you’re looking out for yourself or someone you love, this is a conversation everyone should hear. Learn the signs of stroke, remember BE FAST, and discover why time is brain.
