In this episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, we sit down with Nurse Practitioner Liz Jackson from Henry Ford Hospital to discuss life-saving information on strokes, heart attacks, and vascular health.

We break down the B.E.F.A.S.T. method for identifying stroke symptoms early, explore the different types of strokes, and highlight the urgency of seeking immediate medical attention. Elizabeth also shares insights on recognizing heart attack warning signs, managing key risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes, and understanding how leg cramping may indicate vascular disease.

Early detection and fast action can save lives—tune in to learn how you can protect yourself and your loved ones. 🎧❤️
