By News Channel NebraskaNews release:
(COLUMBUS, Neb.) – A stroke is a medical emergency in which there is a sudden interruption of blood supply to the brain.
This can affect a stroke victim's senses, motor activity, speech and ability to understand speech, behavior and thought patterns, memory and emotions. It can also lead to long-term brain damage.
Early medical intervention is the key to getting stroke patients the best possible long-term outcomes. That’s why stroke experts from Columbus Community Hospital are educating community members about the signs of stroke, when they should seek treatment and what they can do to prevent strokes from happening in the first place.
