📘 World Stroke Day – October 29 📘

Today we recognize World Stroke Day, a global campaign dedicated to raising awareness about stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery.

A stroke occurs when healthy blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and EVERY second counts. Knowing the signs and acting quickly can save lives.

🔹 Know the F.A.S.T. Warning Signs:

F – Face: Is one side drooping?
A – Arm: Is one arm weak or numb?
S – Speech: Is speech slurred or strange?
T – Time: Call 911 immediately.

🧠 Prevention Matters:

✔️Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol
✔️Stay active and eat a balanced diet
✔️Avoid smoking and limit alcohol use
✔️Schedule regular health checkups

At WCCOA we’re committed to supporting older adults through education, wellness programs, and community health initiatives.

Together, we can reduce the risk and impact of stroke.

💜 If you have a loved one who has experienced a stroke and you need help navigating resources, insurance, or other information, please feel free to give us a call. We’ll connect you with those who can help!

Thankful for new experiences and making memories!

Today, some of our crew headed downtown and stepped into The Mug on Main’s kitchen to make our own personal pizzas! 🍕

From spreading the sauce to sprinkling the cheese, everyone chose their own toppings, adding their creative touch and the results were delicious!

Then we jumped behind the coffee bar to learn a few tricks of the trade learning what it takes to whip up our favorite drinks and seeing where all the magic happens! ☕✨

Here’s to good company, making memories, and learning something new!

Oh… and before you hear it around town… just know we’re pretty good pizza makers if we say so ourselves!

💚A huge shoutout to Mug on Main for opening their doors and hosting us on their day off! You guys made our day! It was a great experience!
