If you think you're having a stroke, call 9-1-1 right away - not a friend.
Calling 9-1-1 is the best way to get to the hospital.
Emergency medical services (EMS) staff can begin life-saving treatment immediately.
You're likely to receive faster treatment at the hospital if you arrive by ambulance.
Never drive yourself or have someone drive you to the hospital unless you have no other option
