May is Stroke Awareness Month 🧠

This serious medical emergency occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted — and every second matters.

It can happen suddenly, often without warning, which is why understanding the risks and recognizing the signs is so important.

This month, take time to learn, share, and help protect yourself and your community.
