Pacific Vascular, Inc.

May is American Stroke Month! At Pacific Vascular, we're raising awareness about how vascular health impacts your risk of stroke- and the critical role vascular ultrasound plays in identifying circulatory issues before they become emergencies.
Stroke is a medical emergency and recognizing the signs can save a life:

• Face drooping
• Arm weakness
• Speech difficulty
• Time to call 911

Other symptoms may include:
