                  On average, someone suffers from a stroke every 40 seconds and someone dies from a stroke every 4 minutes. In all, 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year. The statistics are staggering, and make it clear why quick diagnosis and treatment is so important if you think you may be having a stroke. At Galesburg Cottage Hospital, we know that a stroke can happen at any time. We’re ready all the time—24 hours a day to provide vital, immediate attention.

                   
                  Also referred to as a "brain attack", strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. There are two different types:

                  • Ischemic stroke: when a blood clot blocks one of the vital blood vessels in the brain.
                  • Hemorrhagic stroke: when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into surrounding tissue.

                  Quick reaction is essential regardless of stoke type, and knowing the signs of a stroke can be the difference between minimal and severe damage.


                  Know the symptoms:

                  • Confusion or difficulty speaking/understanding
                  • Difficulty swallowing
                  • Sudden loss of vision
                  • Sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis of the face or on one side of the body
                  • Sudden severe headache
                  • Unexplained dizziness and/or loss of balance

                  If you think you are having a stroke, or suspect a loved one is, call 911 immediately.
