#stroke

A stroke is a medical emergency and delaying treatment can have serious consequences. 🧠
According to @Alberta Health Services, even a 25-minute delay in treatment can leave someone with severe disability or even result in death. ⏳
Do you know the signs of a stroke? FAST is a simple way to remember the main symptoms and know when to call for medical help. FAST stands for:
😐 Face: is it drooping?
🙌🏻 Arms: can you raise both?
👄 Speech: is it slurred or jumbled?
⏰ Time: Call 911 immediately.

#FamilyDoctor

Think having a family doctor just means a familiar face when you’re feeling unwell? Think again.
Research shows those with a family doctor don’t just receive better care, but live longer with better health, ultimately reducing hospital admissions and visits to the emergency room.
Studies even show the better the relationship with your family doctor, the better the health outcomes.
Here are some other benefits of having a family doctor:
· preventative care and disease management
· support to achieve your personal health goals
· medication management
· access to a team of health professionals, free programs and services through Alberta PCNs: https://bigcountrypcn.com/
