Stroke Awareness
Stony Brook Southhampton
Hospital/East End Libraries
Thursday, February 16, 12pm
Know the signs of a stroke! Dr. Olga McAbee, Director of Neurology and the Stroke Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, will speak about the different types and the causes of strokes, and how to spot a stroke in its early stages – face drooping, arm weakness, difficulty with speech – to know when it’s time to call 911. Being aware, and acting quickly to seek medical attention, can make all the difference for a successful recovery. Hosted by the Amagansett Free Library.
