(WSYM) - Hello, Mid-Michigan! If you didn't already know, May is Stroke Awareness Month. I sat down with Ron and Nancy Dunfield, who shared with me their story about how their amazing response time saved Ron's life, when he had a stroke on Thanksgiving day, last year. I also sat down with Ron's doctor, Dr. Artz about how strokes can be prevented, and how to spot a stroke. You can find it all, along with Ron's story, on our website!
