  • E – Eyes: Sudden vision changes or trouble seeing
  • F – Face: Facial drooping, especially on one side
  • A – Arms: Arm weakness or numbness, especially on one side
  • S – Speech: Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
  • T – Time: Time to call 911 immediately

If you or someone near you shows any of these symptoms, call 911 right away. LVH–Carbon is a stroke-ready hospital, equipped to begin treatment as soon as you arrive. Fast action can reduce brain damage and improve recovery outcomes.
