Tarleton then called her friend Dr. Ken Hanger, a cardiologist, and told him she thought she was having a stroke. “He said, ‘get to MUSC immediately,’ and I did,” she said. “My advice to anyone who thinks they might be having a stroke is to head to the emergency room immediately, and let the medical experts determine what is happening.” The AHA was part of a group that established “stroke systems of care” in 2018, a collaboration between health systems aiming to provide better treatment for stroke patients statewide. “Several entities work together to ensure the best possible care in an urgent, time-sensitive manner,” said Schumacher. Community support is instrumental to AHA’s success, helping them conduct lifesaving work locally. The AHA is funding millions of dollars in research in Charleston, through year-round fundraising campaigns such as Go Red, including more than $23 million at MUSC Health over the past 30 years. “I see how critically important the American Heart Association is in our community,” said Zucker. “I’m really happy to support the American Heart Association because they continue to progress in a very positive manner to change peoples’ lives and help reduce the number of cardiac events that occur in this country.” For more information on the Go Red campaign, visit heart.org/lowcountry.
