Riverbend Awareness Project

In part one of Stroke Awareness Month conversation, we’re joined by Jim Jarvie and Anna Shackleford from Idaho Falls Community Hospital to explore the basics of stroke: what it is, how to recognize it, and why time is critical. Learn about the different types of strokes, the life-saving BE FAST acronym, and the risk factors that could put someone at risk. Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll dive deeper into recovery, caregiving, and long-term impacts.

What is Riverbend Awareness Project?

The Riverbend Awareness Project brings you a new conversation each month about important causes and issues in our community. Each episode features a conversation with a professional from our community about significant issues like heart health, Alzheimer’s, literacy, and more. Our goal is to share resources and information that will help you have a better understanding of the particular problems and solutions associated with each topic.
