Stroke Prevention and Detection

  What you need to know about detecting, preventing and treating a stroke. People who have experienced a stroke and receive emergency medical treatment within three hours of the event have less disability after three months than those whose care was delayed.

Host Keith Shortall speaks with:
Eileen Hawkins, PenBay Stroke Program Coordinator
Dr. John Belden, neurologist at Maine Medical Partners
