This May is National Stroke Awareness month and our Genesis Healthcare team is encouraging patients to take steps to lower their risk of having a stroke.

A few steps that you can take to help prevent stroke are:

• Managing your diabetes
• Exercising regularly & managing your weight
• Lowering your blood pressure
• Quiting smoking
• Eating healthy and keeping active
• Taking your prescribed blood pressure medicines

With these steps along with advice from your doctor, you can work toward living a healthier life! Learn more by visiting https://www.mindyourrisks.nih.gov/
