The Keck Medicine of USC Stroke Program and the Nurses of USC from across the enterprise participated in 2019 Festival of Books at the Keck Medicine of USC Health Pavilion on April 13-14, 2019. This annual event provides health screening services and resources to participants at the event. The team’s spirit of volunteerism and commitment to service makes us all proud to be serving together as a USC family. Our team offered blood pressure screenings and stroke education to raise awareness to over 1200 people, teaching the community about stroke warning signs, risk factors and stroke prevention. Stroke Awareness Month begins in a May so it was a tremendous opportunity to encourage everyone to be a Stroke Hero and to educate family, friends and colleagues about the signs of stroke. We look forward to participating again next year!
