Inova Loudoun Hospital Offering “Ask the Expert” Lecture on Feb. 28

Have you or a loved one suffered from a stroke? Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in our nation. Almost 90 percent of strokes are caused by a blood clot in the brain – meaning, treating a stroke is just as time-sensitive as treating a heart attack. As part of its free “Ask the Expert” lecture series, Inova Loudoun Hospital will host Blood Clots and the Brain: Current Emergency Treatment on Tuesday, February 28 from
6 – 7:30 p.m.

Join Board Certified Emergency Physician Dr. Dennis Bernier for an interactive discussion on emergency treatment options and stroke care. Attendees will learn more about the importance of acting F.A.S.T. and how it can help to save a life.

The lecture will be at the Inova HealthPlex – Ashburn, 22505 Landmark Court, Ashburn, in the first floor Conference Room. Free on-site parking is available.

Participation is free but seating is limited. To register visit inova.org/AskTheExpert or call 1.855.MY.INOVA (855.694.6682).
