Stroke and Neurosciences



The letters in the word FAST can help you remember the warning signs of a stroke and what to do:

F – Facial paralysis

A – Arm weakness

S – Speech difficulties

T – Time to call 911

Walking, breathing and even smiling are all possible because of your brain and nervous system. Serious conditions such as brain tumors and brain aneurysms, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), migraines, strokes, spine tumors, back and neck pain and concussions can make normal day-to-day functions challenging.

Our foundations support Novant Health in providing exceptional care for these disorders and to keep you living fully. We empower and connect donors to programs and initiatives that save lives and improve the health of our communities, one person at a time.
