It's National Stroke Week!

Know the signs and you could save a life:
When a stroke strikes, it attacks up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute so acting quickly is crucial and it starts with knowing the F.A.S.T. signs.

If you suspect someone is having a stroke, think F.A.S.T. and ask these questions:
Face: Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
Arms: Can they lift both arms?
Speech: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.

💧 June 23rd is National Hydration Day! 💧

Did you know your body is made up of over 60% water? Staying hydrated is essential for your energy, focus, and overall health.

Don't wait until you're thirsty — make a habit of drinking water regularly throughout the day.

Choose water. Stay refreshed. 💙
