Being alert and recognizing signs of a stroke

I would like to recognize and thank one of my HAA's, Shannon Colbert for being alert and knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke. She witnessed a patient with a facial droop while checking in and was concerned. She immediately told the nurse her concerns and the patient was then rushed back to an exam room to see the physician. Patient was evaluated and EMS was called to transport the patient to Carilion ED, where he was diagnosed with a right superior pontine acute CVA. Thanks to the quick thinking by Shannon, the patient was treated and discharged home to his family.
