Stroke = TIME!!! When you feel any of these: inbalance, blurred vision, face assymetry, arms or legs weakness, speech difficulty, call an ambulance. It is a matter of minutes. Stroke can manifest even if are have healthy BMI, blood pressure, are a non-smoker, and young. After missing the first symptom, just thinking it’s something temporary, you can lose your ability to move your hands, talk, see the next day. And also be aware of your loved ones if they show any of these. Share this to your network and spread stroke awareness.

Patient advocates are vital; they give voice to patients' needs and rights, ensuring that healthcare journeys are not just medically sound but also personally empowered and respected. It's not just a good idea to have a patient advocate; in most states it is a requirement of licensure. One of the many services we provide at Atlantic Health Strategies is patient advocacy. If you need an advocacy hotline, we'll set it up and staff it for you. Our team has worked in treatment; we understand your challenges as a business owner and the day to day challenges that patients have. With Atlantic you can be assured that a compassionate, mental health or SUD expert answers the phone when your patient reaches out for advocacy. #ComplianceChampions #AtlanticHealthStrategies #patientadvocacy
