Arcadia Senior Services, in partnership with Methodist Hospital, is having a special free health presentation on Tuesday, May 26th at 1 p.m. at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 Campus Drive, Arcadia.
May is designated as “Stroke Awareness Month.” Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. Each year, almost 800,000 strokes occur in the United States and can lead to serious, life-changing complications. Dr. Kenneth Wogensen will be the guest speaker. Dr. Wogensen is board-certified in Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurology. He will discuss causes of stroke, prevention, treatments and how sleep can be affected.
City of Arcadia’s Fire Chief Norwood will start the program at 1 p.m. by discussing the advantages of enrolling in the City’s Paramedic Membership Program as well as current fees for the program, what the membership covers, when to call paramedics, who should join, and additional information regarding the City of Arcadia Fire Department.
This program is for individuals 50 years of age and older. Please call Arcadia Senior Services (626) 574-5130 before May 21 if you or a loved one is interested in attending.
