"Stroke alert: Take action!" - Mineola, NY seminar

Go to it and see if they talk about anything other than the stupid generic prevention ideas.

According to the National Stroke Association(r), about 80% of strokes are preventable. To learn the latest information about stroke prevention guidelines, the public is invited to attend Winthrop-University Hospital's Health Update for Seniors free seminar, "Stroke Alert: Take Action!," on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, at 1:15 PM. It will be held at the Mineola Community Center, 155 Washington Avenue in Mineola (one block south of Jericho Turnpike and one block east of Mineola Boulevard), and will focus on how individuals can reduce their risk, as well as identify the warning signs of a stroke and understand the significance of taking immediate action if symptoms occur.
Kathleen Michel, CNRN, MSN, FNPBC, Administrative Director and Coordinator of the Cerebrovascular Program at Winthrop, will explain the mechanisms of a stroke, risk factors and the latest advances in treatment. A question and answer period will be included. Free parking is adjacent to the building. Metered parking is available across the street. Seating is limited and reservations are required. To reserve a space, please call (516) 663-3916.
