Know The Signs | Spot a Stroke

While stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States, 80% of strokes can be prevented.

F.A.S.T. is an acronym used to remember the symptoms of a stroke. The acronym stands for Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties and Time to call 9-1-1.

Our Mission is Guided by C.A.R.E.

Collaboration

The SAO Team works alongside our local and state hospitals, community leaders, and businesses to further provide stroke education, support and resources.

Awareness

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.” – Eckhart Tolle

Over 800,000 people have a stroke nationwide each year. SAO is making a difference in stroke outcomes and recovery through the education of F.A.S.T.

We want you to achieve your best possible recovery. From support groups to education and prevention, we are here to support you and your family at every stage of your stroke journey.

Education

Stroke is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability worldwide. While 80% of strokes are preventable, many of us no little about stroke prevention, symptoms, and recovery.

At SAO, we are committed to continuing the education and awareness of stroke through presentations, support groups, medical partnerships, resource sharing, and early education.

We’re Here For You!
