💙🧠 World Stroke Day – Every Second Counts! 🧠💙

Today, October 29th, is World Stroke Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about stroke prevention, recognizing the warning signs, and understanding the importance of acting quickly.

At St. Bernards Five Rivers Medical Center, we are proud to be a Stroke Ready Hospital, committed to providing timely assessment and care for patients experiencing stroke symptoms right here in our rural community.

🚨 Do YOU Know the Signs of a Stroke? BE FAST! 🚨

⚖️ B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination.

👀 E – Eyes: Sudden changes in vision or trouble seeing.

😊 F – Face: Does one side of the face droop when smiling?

💪 A – Arms: Is one arm weak or numb? Does it drift downward when both arms are raised?

🗣️ S – Speech: Is speech slurred, difficult to understand, or suddenly confused?

⏰ T – Time: Time to call 911 immediately! Every second matters!

💙 Why does this matter to our community?

When a stroke occurs, every minute without treatment can mean the loss of precious brain cells. Recognizing the symptoms and seeking immediate medical attention can make a life-changing difference.

Living in a rural community should not mean being without access to critical emergency care. As a Stroke Ready Hospital, our team is trained and prepared to recognize stroke symptoms, initiate timely care, and coordinate with stroke specialists when needed.

Remember: Stroke doesn't wait, and neither should YOU!

If you or someone you love experiences sudden stroke symptoms, call 911 immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to improve or attempt to drive yourself to the hospital.

💙 At St. Bernards Five Rivers Medical Center, we are proud to care for our neighbors, friends, and families when every second counts.

Help us spread awareness this World Stroke Day by sharing this post. You never know whose life you might help save!

💙 Compassion in Action: Meet Angela Morgan, Radiology Technologist 💙

Behind every image is a patient, a story, and an opportunity to make a difference.

At St. Bernards Five Rivers Medical Center, compassion isn't limited to the bedside. It can be found throughout our facility, including in the Radiology Department, where Angela Morgan helps patients feel comfortable, reassured, and cared for during their imaging procedures.

For Angela, choosing a career in healthcare came from a simple but meaningful desire to help others.

“I knew I wanted to work in the medical field and wanted to be able to help patients get the help they need in order to get better.”

As a Radiology Technologist, Angela understands that medical imaging is much more than obtaining pictures. Behind every MRI is a person who may be experiencing pain, uncertainty, or anxiety about what the results might reveal. She recognizes that even a brief interaction can make a difference in someone's healthcare experience.

When asked if there was a particular moment that reminded her why she chose this profession, Angela shared that those moments happen every day.

“Every time I get to interact with the patients and get a little glimpse into their lives, I also hope that by taking the images helps them fix the problem they are having.”

For many patients, having an MRI can feel intimidating, especially when they don't know what to expect. Angela hopes that her kindness and reassurance help replace those worries with a sense of comfort and confidence.

“I hope they feel that having an MRI was not as bad as they thought and want to come back here to have the next one.”

Angela is also quick to recognize that compassionate care is a team effort. When asked what she would want the community to know about her coworkers, her answer reflected the pride she takes in being part of Five Rivers.

“I would love to tell the community how this entire facility is here to help people feel better. My team is amazing at doing this.”

Perhaps what best reflects Angela's commitment to compassionate care is her belief that every patient deserves the same kindness, patience, and respect, regardless of their circumstances.

“Each patient is different, and each one deserves to have the same compassion as the one before him or her.”

That is what Compassion in Action is all about. It's recognizing that while a procedure may be routine for a healthcare professional, it may be an unfamiliar or frightening experience for the person receiving it. Taking the time to offer reassurance, listen, and treat each patient as an individual can turn an ordinary healthcare encounter into a meaningful one.

Thank you, Angela, for reminding us that behind every image is a person who deserves to feel seen, heard, and cared for. Your dedication to treating every patient with compassion reflects the heart of our mission at St. Bernards Five Rivers Medical Center.
