(GARDEN CITY, KAN.) When a stroke occurs, every minute counts – the faster treatment begins the better the chance of a successful recovery. May is National Stroke Awareness Month, let’s take the opportunity to ensure our people, and our community, learn about the life saving care being extended system wide.
