To get the word out during National Stroke Awareness Month, this week on FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, we speak with Neurologist and Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, Dr. Violiza Inoah, MD. This year’s focus of Stroke Awareness Month is the Hispanic Community, where stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Hispanic men and the third leading cause of death in Hispanic women. Dr. Inoah discusses what factors into these distressing stats and what steps need to be taken to improve them. The overall takeaway in Stroke Awareness education is to act quickly. If you or a loved one ever experiences any stroke symptoms (slurred speech, balance issues, losing sight in one or both eyes, difficulty raising both arms, facial drooping), call 911 immediately! As you’ll soon hear, your hospital’s medical staff will jump into action immediately, as every second counts.
