National Stroke Awareness Month

Health is 1 of the 3 focus areas with the greatest concern in our community. In addition to funding 13 health programs for Gregg County residents, GLUW would like to share awareness/prevention information.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in America, but many people do not realize how educating themselves and others will help reduce the incidence of stroke. We urge you to specifically educate others about how to:
*STOP stroke through risk factor management.
*Act F.A.S.T. to increase recognition of and response to stroke symptoms.
*Spread HOPE about recovery from stroke.
