Learn about stroke prevention and get an assessment to see if you are at risk for having a stroke. Breakfast and lunch provided! What’s the purpose of the We’ve Got SPIRIT Event? To educate and empower our community! Stroke care prevention is a powerful tool. On average, someone in America is having a stroke every 40 seconds. There are preventable factors that contribute to an individual’s likelihood of having a stroke, and at New Orleans East Hospital we believe in preventative care! At the We’ve Got SPIRIT event on March 19th, we’re going to take the time to really dive deep into that with community members as well as let them benefit from some assessments to see whether they’re currently at risk for stroke. Breakfast and lunch will also be provided! Screenings that will take place include: o Blood pressure o Heart rate o EKG o BMI o Waist-hip ratio o Carotid ultrasound o Transcranial doppler
