This also involves increasing public awareness of the warning signs of heart attack and stroke, and the appropriate action in the presence of those signs. It also involves ensuring that systems are in place to assure access to appropriate and timely care, starting with activation of the 911 system, emergency transport, quality acute care, prevention of recurrent events and access to rehabilitation services.
