An ambulance is shown at the Baptist Health emergency care center in Fleming Island.

We devoted this week’s episode to strokes — what causes them, how to prevent them, how to treat them and more.

First, we spoke with Dr. Josephine Huang, director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Then, we spoke with Dr. Michelle Lin, a neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and Dr. Rabih Tawk, a cerebrovascular neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, about strokes in young people.
