Stroke Care
What is a Stroke?
A stroke is a brain condition that occurs when the blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced, causing brain cells to be damaged. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic stroke (blood flow is blocked by a clot) and hemorrhagic stroke (a blood vessel breaks, causing bleeding). Symptoms of a stroke may include sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, blurred vision, and trouble walking.
