1. COMMUNITY OUT REACH DONE RIGHT!
The Why, Who and Where.
COMMUNITY OUT REACH DONE RIGHT!

2. THE NUMBERS OF STROKE LKWT 3-4.5 HOUR WINDOW
DOOR TO NEEDLE < 60 MIN.
87% ARE ISCHEMIC
795,000 NEW OR RECURRENT STROKES/YEAR
STROKE EVERY 40 SECONDS
32,000 NEURONS/SECOND
We know, preach and teach these every day.

3. WHY do we have to do it? What's the big deal about outreach?
From Jan 2016-Dec 2017, 106 people were excluded from t-Pa, based solely on time.
That’s almost 10% of total exclusions for that time period. 10% of pts who could be living much more normal lives.
People still want to sleep on it, see if it will get better
IT WON’T !

4. EFFECTS OF OUTREACH
From Number 1 to Number 6 since ArSaves was started. Every Facilitator past and present has had a hand in changing those numbers.

5. WHO DO WE TARGET EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD!
Stroke has no boundaries. From birth to elderly , any gender, any race, stroke can happen to anyone.
But Children? Yes ! Who do they stay with after school?

6. WHERE do we go? CIVIC GROUPS, Rotary, Lions club etc. CHURCHES
SCHOOLS ( public and private)
SPORTING EVENTS
INDUSTRIES – many require yearly safety events
Get to know your marketing person/ growth and outreach person.( they can be your best friend and resource)

8. KEEP IT SIMPLE

10. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

11. MAKE IT FUN, find those in your hospital that are willing and excited to help. You can’t do it all on your own.

12. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Use your nurse educators, other facilitators ( contact info goes out every month)
WEB- Youtube, Google , Stroke.org and many more. Allows you to have more info than you will have time to read.
