🧠 A can shift from silent to serious in moments, which is why knowing the warning signs matters.
Brain aneurysms may develop without symptoms, making it important to pay attention to changes in how you feel. A sudden, severe headache is the most common warning sign and should never be ignored. Acting fast can make all the difference.
Each year, hospitals across our broader HCA Healthcare network provide care for approximately 12,000 patients with aneurysms and perform more than 3,000 procedures – supported by advanced tools to help deliver the best possible outcomes.
If you have aneurysm risk factors or concerns, talk with your doctor. If you experience a sudden, severe headache, don’t wait – call 911 immediately. Know where your nearest emergency room is before you need it: https://bit.ly/483IKTz

"A concussion can happen in an instant — a tough hit, a sudden jolt or any impact that makes the brain shift inside the skull," says Kelli Franklin, Mission Hospital pediatric trauma program manager.

Mission Health emergency rooms are equipped and ready to evaluate serious head injuries and provide fast, specialized care when it matters most.
Take a moment to learn the warning signs, when rest is enough and when it’s time to call 911 or head to the ER. Your brain deserves the best protection. 🧠
