FAST program--Facts for Action to Stroke Treatment--is a community intervention to increase knowledge and awareness of the risk of stroke, the third largest killer of Americans. We are teaching people about the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale, a simple one-minute test to evaluate if someone is having a stroke.
To learn more about FAST, please view this power point slide show. For more information contact: Pamela Stewart Fahs, Associate Professor and Director of the O'Connor Office of Rural Health Studies. You can also reach the O'Connor office by dialing the toll free number:  1- 866-205-8120.

I wish to acknowledge and thank all the members of the FAST program team for their hard work and dedication to this community education and research project.

Sincerely,
Pamela Stewart Fahs, RN, DSN
