F.A.S.T. is the acronym designed to identify symptoms of a stroke and to remind you of the importance to act quickly and get your loved one to a hospital immediately.

  • F=Face     Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
  • A=Arm     Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one drift downward?
  • S=Speech  Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?
  • T=Time    If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1 or get to the nearest stroke center or hospital.
