Can you identify the signs of an oncoming STROKE? It's easy and something everyone should know. A stroke can happen to anyone at anytime regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Remember: THINK F.A.S.T. (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) and you can save a life. ❤ In the event of a stroke, CALL 8-1-1 (Trinidad and Tobago Emergency Services to get medical attention IMMEDIATELY). Reducing the time to receive medical attention can reduce the severity of damage done to the brain and body during a stroke. LEARN. EDUCATE. ACT. SAVE A LIFE!
