Stop a Stroke Before it Stops You

Every year about 800,000 people suffer a stroke in the United States. Significant risk factors include atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder) and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Treating these conditions can significantly reduce the risk of a first or recurrent stroke.

These lectures are free and healthy refreshments will be provided. However seating is limited and registration is required.
