Stroke: "A disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain...A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts." - @american_heart This month is #StrokeAwarenessMonth. Many of our clients are at increased risk of stroke due to factors such as age or pre-existing conditions, which is why we want to join in on this effort to educate and spread awareness regarding this disease. Check in every Saturday where we'll be sharing information, resources, and collaborations with experts on stroke and how we can best prevent it. #deliveringmorethanameal #StrokeAwarenessSaturday #mealsonwheelswest #mealsonwheels #mealdelivery #food #pico #santamonica #venice #marinadelrey #pacificpalisades #malibu #supportseniors #supportveterans #health #nutrition #nonprofit #community #delivery #phonereassurance #foodassistance #foodinsecurity #losangeles #seniors #veterans #volunteering #mowwest #communityconnections
