May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Javier is just one of many grateful patients who received life-saving treatment from the Stroke Center at Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital. As the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and happens when the brain's blood supply is stopped by a burst blood vessel or a blood clot. During a stroke, brain cells can die quickly. Early treatment can help minimize this damage, preventing long-term disability and saving lives. In this situation—when every second counts—you can count on Emanate Health.
