About Stroke Symptoms

A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked by a clot or a blood vessel bleeds. Brain cells begin to die within minutes — which is why doctors say “time is brain.”

Remember BE FAST: Balance loss, Eyesight changes, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty — Time to get emergency care.

Neurological Exam

A rapid, structured assessment of strength, speech, vision, and coordination by our ER physicians.

On-Site Lab Testing

Blood tests check clotting, blood sugar, and other factors that guide stroke treatment.

Cardiac Monitoring

EKG and rhythm monitoring — heart rhythm problems like AFib are a common stroke cause.
