October 29 is World Stroke Day! This year's theme: Every M1nute Counts. ⌛

Stroke can strike without warning, like a light switch being flipped. Every single minute can mean the difference between recovery and lifelong disability… or even loss of life.

This , we’re asking:

👉 Are you ready to BEFAST when Every M1nute Counts?

Know the signs. BEFAST:
B = Balance: sudden loss of balance or coordination
E = Eyes: vision changes or loss
F = Face: drooping on one side
A = Arms: weakness or numbness
S = Speech: slurred or difficulty speaking
T = Terrible headache & Time to call 911

🚨 Stroke is an emergency. Call 911 immediately.

Let’s raise awareness, recognize the signs and respond fast!

Ascension Wisconsin has introduced a new Post‑Birth Alert Program to better protect mothers in the critical weeks after delivery.

Every new mom delivering at an Ascension hospital will receive an orange wristband to signal to medical teams this woman has delivered an infant recently and may need additional assessments or interventions when seeking care. This visible alert empowers caregivers to respond faster and prevent complications.

Together we’re putting life-saving support front and center for families across Wisconsin.

Recognizing that the weeks following childbirth can bring serious and sometimes life-threatening health risks, Ascension Wisconsin launched a Post-Birth Alert Program on October 1.
