Each month, the Child & Family Services Employee Assistance Program (EAP) issues a wellness paragraph which contains information to benefit Canisius employees.
May is National Stroke Prevention Month. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the #1 cause of adult disability in America. In fact, about 750,000 people will have a stroke each year. A stroke is a ‘brain attack,’ and cuts off blood and oxygen flow to the brain cells that control everything we do. Strokes can be caused when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain (ischemic stroke) or when an artery bursts due to a weak spot on a blood vessel wall (hemorrhagic stroke).
