San Jose Mercury News National Stroke Alert Day Advertorial

Stroke Awareness Foundation and 11 local health agencies team up for 4th annual Stroke Alert Day message: Don't Stall Make the Call!

May 3, 2011

National Stroke Alert Day

Because stroke victims rarely call 911, the only way to have them reach the emergency room quickly is to educate the ENTIRE population about the warning symptoms of stroke and the need to call 911.

Stroke Alert is a grassroots initiative by health care providers to work with local media and local organizations to reach out to the whole population of a community on one single day. The goal is to educate everyone with regard to the warning signs of stroke and the need to call 911 immediately.
