Getting timely and accurate care when you're having a stroke can literally mean life or death. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH), is home to North Florida’s and South Georgia’s only Comprehensive Stroke Center. This means that our expert neurovascular surgeons are always ready to care for you.
Stroke is a very serious medical emergency that occurs when blood flow is cut off to an area of the brain – a literal “brain attack.” Without blood flow, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die. This means that the abilities controlled by those areas of the brain, such as memory and muscle control, are lost.
Stroke can happen to anyone at any time. If you think someone is having a stroke, call 911 immediately.
To remember the signs of a stroke, use BE FAST:
Balance - Sudden loss of balance
Eyes - Sudden loss of Vision
Face - Does their face look uneven?
Arms - Does one arm drift down? Ask them to raise both arms.
Speech - Does their speech sound strange? Ask them to repeat a phrase.
Time - Time is brain. Brain cells die every second during a stroke.
TMH is home to North Florida’s and South Georgia’s only Comprehensive Stroke Center, recognized with The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Comprehensive Stroke Certification. This is the highest level of accreditation awarded and fewer than one percent of hospitals in the country have this prestigious designation through The Joint Commission.
