We've got SPIRIT!
Every minute counts.
New Orleans East Hospital is hosting the 2025 Stroke Prevention through Identification of Risk and Initial Treatment (SPIRIT) on Friday, October 16, 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. During the event, you can learn about stroke prevention and get an assessment to see if you are at risk for having a stroke. (The event will accommodate 50 participants.)
What’s the purpose of the We’ve Got SPIRIT Event?
To educate and empower our community! Stroke care prevention is a powerful tool. On average, someone in America is having a stroke every 40 seconds.
There are preventable factors that contribute to an individual’s likelihood of having a stroke, and at New Orleans East Hospital we believe in preventative care!
