Event Details

This is a John D. Spreckels Center program and was moved to the library due to flooding.

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and the primary cause of serious, long-term adult disability in the U.S. The first step to treating stroke is to quickly recognize the signs and symptoms, and immediately call 911 to receive emergency medical care. Join a board-certified emergency medicine doctor at Sharp Coronado Hospital at this presentation to learn what to look for and how to help in an emergency. A nurse will offer free blood pressure screening.
