Spot a Stroke, Save a Life: What Everyone Needs to Know

Do you know how to spot the signs of a stroke and what to do next?

Stroke is a leading cause of death for Americans and a major contributor to serious long-term disability. But here’s the hopeful part: according to the American Stroke Association, up to 80% of strokes are preventable, and immediate action can make the difference between full recovery and lasting damage. A stroke doesn’t have to be a life sentence – when recognized quickly, a full recovery is possible. Every second counts.

Join Dr. David Zuckerberg, Medical Director of the Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps (LVAC), Vista Fire Department, and the Pound Ridge Ambulance Corps, for an essential, eye-opening workshop on stroke awareness.

You’ll learn:

• The different types of strokes, and why they matter
• The early warning signs that should never be ignored
• How quick action by bystanders can save lives and dramatically improve outcomes

Bring your questions! There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Dr. Zuckerberg, who brings over 30 years of experience in emergency medicine at Westchester Medical Center and Northern Westchester Hospital.

This event is part of an ongoing community health workshop series presented in partnership with the Lewisboro Library and LVAC. It’s free, open to the public, and could help you save a life – maybe even your own.

Don’t miss it. Someone’s recovery could depend on you.
