Olson Center Brown Bag "Preventing and Treating Stroke in Women: Why, When and How?"

According to the CDC, stroke kills approximately 140,000 Americans every year - that is 1 out of every 20 deaths! Every 40 seconds, someone in the US is having a stroke and every 4 minutes, someone dies from stroke. If someone survives a stroke, many times they must deal with a serious long-term disability. And women are equally at risk of stroke.

At the next Olson Center brown bag on May 15th, Dr. Pierre Fayad of the UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences will discuss the key symptoms of stroke and how it presents in women in particular, as well as strategies for managing and treating acute stroke. Seating is limited; please pre-register by calling the Olson Center at (402) 559-6345. Bring your lunch. Simple refreshments will be provided.

The lectures are free, however if you would like to obtain nursing credit, the cost is $10.00. Payment instructions will be given when you pre-register.
