Yaama you Mob.
🚨 This Stroke Week, don’t be a slowpoke when it comes to spotting the signs of a stroke - it could save a life!
We had Uncle Joe Miller, Stroke Foundation Ambassador, join us at TAMS-AC for a yarn about stroke awareness. He shared how Mob can reduce their risk and what to do if you or someone you love shows the signs.
Remember F.A.S.T.:
Face – has it drooped?
Arms – can they lift both?
Speech – is it slurred or strange?
Time – call 000 straight away!
Thanks Uncle Joe for sharing your wisdom and keeping our community strong.
