Stroke Education & What You Should Know

Understanding stroke is key to prevention, early action, and recovery. At Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus, we are committed to empowering our community with knowledge.

Stroke is a disease affecting the arteries leading to and within the brain. It is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States.

A stroke happens when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts (ruptures). When this occurs, part of the brain can’t get the blood it needs, and brain cells begin to die.

• Up to 80% of strokes can be prevented.
