We are so grateful to all those who attended our free community lecture Monday evening on “Stroke: Why Every Minute Matters.”
The lecture, presented by the Foundation’s Community Education Committee, featured Lauren Fink, BSN, RN, CNRN, SCRN, the Clinical Manager, Service Line Operations – Neuroscience at Cottage Health in Santa Barbara. Additionally, LVMC Emergency Department Director Ryan Stevens, RN, presented about the hospital’s recertification of its Stroke Ready Hospital designation through the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ).
Fink advised people to know the signs of stroke, using the easy-to-remember phrase BE FAST. Stroke symptoms can appear suddenly, and quick action can save a life.
BE FAST stands for:
B — Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination
E — Eyes: Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
F — Face: Face drooping or numbness, especially on one side
A — Arm: Arm or leg weakness or numbness on one side of the body
S — Speech: Slurred speech or difficulty speaking or understanding
T — Time: Call 911 immediately if any of these symptoms appear

Our free Caregiver Information Session was a tremendous success last night at the Dick DeWees Community and Senior Center! The evening, which included a soup and salad dinner, was all about supporting those who give so much of themselves every day.
Everyone enjoyed helpful information and local resources for caregivers, raffle prize giveaways and a calming chair yoga stress-relief session.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — and to the amazing presenters, volunteers and community partners who made it all happen, especially sponsor Superior Home Health, Hospice and Senior Services and supporters including the City of Lompoc, Coast Caregiver Resource Center, Compass Plus, Family Service Agency, Alzheimer's Association, California Central Coast Chapter, LVCHO, Caring Together Santa Barbara County and more.
