The Florida Department of Health Recognizes May as American Stroke Month New as of 5/08!
 The Florida Department of Health (DOH) joins the American Stroke Association
in recognizing May as American Stroke Month. The Stroke Collaborative, a joint
venture of the American Academy of Neurology, the American College of Emergency Physicians,
and the American Stroke Association, has developed a new campaign called "Give Me 5: Walk,
Talk, Reach, See, Feel". The important message of the "Give Me 5" campaign is early
identification of stroke symptoms and early intervention by doctors in the emergency room.
Early recognition of stroke symptoms can make the difference between life and death.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is
either blocked by a clot or bursts. As a result, part of the brain cannot get the blood
and oxygen it needs and therefore starts to die. Stroke symptoms include sudden difficulty
walking, talking, reaching and seeing, as well as sudden and severe headache. Do not ignore
symptoms, and do not delay getting to the emergency room. With stroke, every minute counts.
DOH promotes, protects and improves the health of all people in Florida.
For more information about the "Give Me 5" campaign, call 1-888-4STROKE or visit
www.strokeassociation.org.

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) joins health professionals and citizens statewide
