About 800,000 people in the United States will have a stroke this year. They’re the leading cause of disability in this country, and the fifth-leading cause of death. Unfortunately, they can happen to anyone, at any age.

Dr. Ross Tobleman is the Medical Director of Emergency Medicine at Scott & White Hospital in Round Rock, TX and he is available to discuss Stroke Month, the benefits to the patient of receiving care at a designated primary stroke center, and the problem that many are still not getting to the ER in time to receive treatment. So, the public's recognition of the warning signs of a stroke are still lacking.
