There are three easy signs to notice a person has had a stroke. Use these three easy steps to determine if they might need to seek medical help; STR!

• “S” Ask the person to smile.
• “T” Ask the person speak or talk using a simple sentence that will come out coherently.
• “R” Ask the individual to raise both arms.

If the person has any trouble completing ANY of these task call an emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
