A Stroke Survivors Testimonial

“I was sitting at home and I guess I wasn’t making sense. My wife immediately recognized what was happening and called 911. It was incredible how fast they got there. Everyone was incredible; it was like a miracle how quickly everything worked. I walked out of the Hospital a few days later.”

— Brian Bragnalo, Stroke Survivor and Recipient of EVT
