Rapid access to medical treatment oftentimes make the difference between full recovery and permanent disability. The aim of National Stroke Awareness Month is to make Americans aware that they may be able to 'Save A Life' of a person experiencing a stroke.

Each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) holds World No Tobacco Day on May 31. Their goal is to spread awareness about the risks of tobacco use and how we can make the world tobacco-free. 

American Stroke Month was created to promote public awareness and reduce the incidence of stroke in the United States. This year's call is to be #RelentlessTogether. When it comes to stroke, time lost is brain loss - awareness of its symptoms is imperative to quick action and can save lives.
