As May comes to a close and we wrap up stroke awareness month, it is a great time to prioritize health by participating in stroke risk screenings. These assessments offer invaluable insights into personal health profiles, enabling individuals to address potential risk factors head-on. Through simple measures such as monitoring blood pressure, measuring cholesterol levels, and adopting healthier lifestyle choices, individuals have the opportunity to dramatically reduce their susceptibility to stroke. Whether accessed online, in public programs, or through primary care providers, these screenings can provide proactive steps towards a healthier future.
