Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is irreversible and typically has long term to fatal consequences. It is important to catch the early warning signs to prevent further damage. This brochure is a tool for the middle aged adult who has a genetic predisposition to stroke and/ or parent figure that has the same characteristics. Our goal is to educate in case an emergency situation is to arise and to display the steps necessary to take.

Oooo, the brochure is extremely aesthetically pleasing. Really enjoyed the use of calming photos, colored boxes, and a clear theme. Glad you all didn’t use a scare tactic, and instead went with a more calm approach to help victims of stroke.
Thank you for your kind commentary!
The front of your brochure looks so professional! I like the images chosen and it was executed very well. The information is very informative and I like that you guys went with an approach of what to do in an emergency situation. As well as ways to prevent a stroke, I didn’t actually know that there were ways you could prevent a stroke. Well done!
The brochure was visually very appealing. They did a good job at stating the risk factors of contracting a stroke but it was a little repetitive. I wish there was more information on what a stroke is, how those risk factors increase your risk, or like their intro says- how to deal with someone having a stroke.
thank you for the feedback and suggestions!
Stroke, ischemic (Caused by blood clots.) stroke specifically, is actually reversible with the use of thromobolytic (Clot-busting) medications. The caveat is that for the highest chances of recovery, the medication has to be administered within 3 hours. (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1159752-overview#a1) For this reason, there is a move toward designated Stroke Centers, of which Peacehealth St. Joseph’s Hospital is one. (http://www.peacehealth.org/about-peacehealth/medical-professionals/bellingham/Pages/emergent-cardiovascular-services) As a designated Stroke Center, all regional stroke victims are routed to Peacehealth for treatment.
Thank you for the clarification and additional information!
I really liked the pictures you had, they were very eye catching and calming! It was nice that you kept the information simple and easy to read. I also really thought that the learn the signs of stroke was important to add. Good job!!!
The background picture looks really great! I like how you color coded risk factors and the corresponding prevention.
This is so aesthetically pleasing! I love the water scene, very calming. I also liked the risk factors and prevention portions, they were very well organized without being too wordy.
Prior to taking a first aid class I was unaware of the warning signs of stroke and I think a brochure like this is a great way to get the basics out to the public. Even though I have learned the signs in the past, I would pick up this brochure to provide myself with a refresher. Knowing the signs is the best way to increases the chances of living for someone that may be suffering from a stroke.
catered to the audience you were trying to reach, liked the background photos as well!
catered to the audience you were trying to reach, liked how the background photos were not seperated on each panel but one big photo instead, nice job!
Sweet Brochure!
The background pictures and format immediately grasped my attention. Information was well-presented and thorough. Here is a website for a local Center of Rehabilitation in Bellingham:
