May is Stroke Awareness Month!
As we continue our efforts to bring stroke awareness to our communities, we recently joined Barrio Action Youth & Family Center 's food distribution event. The event helps meet the needs of those experiencing food shortages in and around the El Sereno/Los Angeles area. The USC Stroke Program volunteered side by side the food distribution volunteers and provided stroke education to 100+ people, teaching the community about stroke warning signs, risk factors and prevention.
The Barrio Action Youth & Family Center is a non-profit organization that offers free family & youth programs to Angelenos for over 30 years. They do important work and provide much needed services for their community. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your event!
