Stroke Awareness Month 2026

May is Stroke Awareness Month – a reminder to know the signs and act fast.

The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much. Like – not being able to raise your arm. Or struggling to smile. Or slurring when you speak. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency.

 
Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it’s time to call 999.
