May is National Stroke Awareness Month.
Learn to B.E. F.A.S.T. and quickly recognize the signs of a stroke which can help reduce the chances of long-term disability.

BALANCE: Is the potential stroke victim unsteady?
EYES: Do they have a vision problem in one or both eyes?
FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side droop?
ARMS: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one side drift downward?
SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Treatment should occur as quickly as possible from the time symptoms begin to reduce the risk of long-term disability. So, if you think someone is having a stroke, B.E. F.A.S.T. Learn more at baptistonline.org/stroke.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

At Baptist Golden Triangle, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health. This month, we encourage everyone to take time to care for their emotional well-being, support for one another, and help break the stigma surrounding mental health.

Whether it's checking in with a friend, taking time for self-care, or reaching out for professional support, every step toward better mental health matters.

You are not alone. Help is available, healing is possible, and your mental health matters every day.

If you or someone you know is struggling, the Helpline Hotline is available 24/7 by calling 988. Baptist Behavioral Health is also available for professional support. For questions or more information, call 662.244.2161
