What happens AFTER Stroke symptoms begin?

This may be your longest read for the day, but it could also be your most valuable.

Most people know to call 911 if they suspect a stroke — but what should you actually do while waiting for help to arrive?

When it comes to stroke, every minute matters.

If you are WITH someone having a stroke:
• Call 911 immediately
• Note the exact time symptoms began
• Keep them calm and still
• Help them sit or lie down safely, especially if they are weak or dizzy
• Unlock doors and turn on outside lights for first responders
• Gather medications, emergency contacts, allergies, and medical history if possible
• Stay with them and keep talking to them

Do NOT:
• Give food, water, alcohol, or medication
• Give aspirin unless instructed by emergency personnel
• Encourage them to “walk it off” or go to sleep
• Drive them yourself if emergency services are available

If YOU are alone and think you may be having a stroke:

• Call 911 FIRST — even if symptoms feel mild
• Put your phone on speaker and keep it near you
• Unlock your front door if you safely can
• Turn on outside lights or open blinds/curtains to help responders locate you
• Sit or lie somewhere safe near the entrance if possible
• If you have a smart watch, medical alert device, Alexa, Siri, or voice assistant — use it
• If able, text or call a nearby friend, neighbor, or family member with a simple message: “I think I’m having a stroke. 911 is on the way.”
• Stay as calm and still as possible while waiting for help

Do NOT:
• Try to drive yourself
• Take a shower or bath
• Go back to sleep
• Eat or drink anything
• Continue doing chores, work, or physical activity

One of the greatest dangers during a stroke is losing the ability to speak, move, or stay conscious before help arrives. Calling 911 immediately gives emergency teams the best chance to reach and treat you quickly.

Programs like UCLA Health’s Mobile Stroke Unit are helping bring advanced stroke care directly into communities — because faster treatment can save lives and reduce long-term disability.

Know the signs. Trust your instincts. Call 911. Every minute matters.

Every second matters in stroke care.

We are deeply grateful for the leadership and partnership of Dr. May Nour, MD, PhD, Director of the Arline & Henry Gluck Mobile Stroke Rescue Program at UCLA Health. Dr. Nour shared the following words regarding the Brett Torino Foundation’s support of the Mobile Stroke Unit program:

“Brett Tornio's transformative philanthropy has fundamentally reshaped stroke care across Los Angeles County. Through his generosity, the UCLA Health Mobile Stroke Rescue Program expanded its fleet with an additional unit, bringing prehospital stroke treatment to the San Fernando Valley for the first time. This region carries a higher incidence of stroke and is home to a large, socioeconomically underserved population that faces meaningful barriers to primary and secondary stroke prevention, including limited resources and inconsistent access to insurance and preventive care. His commitment also delivered the first deployment in the United States of the most advanced mobile CT scanner available, setting a new national benchmark for what prehospital stroke imaging can be. Brett's legacy is written into the fabric of every patient reached, every stroke treated faster, and every neighborhood now within reach of world-class emergency neurological care.”

Learn the signs. Act FAST. Save a life.

Impact Doesn’t Have to Be Big to Matter

If there’s one thing Brett would say, it’s this—start where you are.

You don’t need a platform or a plan to make a difference. You just need to care enough to act.

Impact can be as simple as checking on a neighbor, helping someone through a tough day, or giving your time where it’s needed most. It doesn’t have to be big to matter.

The recognition the other night was meaningful, but the real message is this: every one of us has the ability to make things a little better for someone else.

And that’s where it begins.

A Night We Won’t Forget

This past Saturday night was a reminder that the most meaningful things are often done quietly.

To stand in a room filled with friends, partners, and community—many who have walked alongside Brett for years—was something special. The Hidden Heroes evening was thoughtful in every way, and we are deeply grateful to Sheriff McMahill, Karen, and the LVMPD Foundation team for the care behind it.

Brett was honored with the inaugural Impact Donor Award, recognition for something that has always come naturally to him—giving, serving, and showing up where he’s called.

His connection to the LVMPD Foundation is one that runs deep, and being recognized by those he respects made the moment even more meaningful.

A night we won’t forget. Grateful for it all.

Truly honored to stand among those who give so much—often without recognition—to strengthen our community.

The Hidden Heroes Gala is a meaningful reminder that behind every act of service are individuals whose generosity, leadership, and quiet commitment make a lasting impact.

Grateful to be part of an evening that celebrates the heart behind it all. 🤍🖤

Supporting the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation as they announce 2026 Camp Cartwheel 💛
Summer never gets boring when Camp Cartwheel rolls around. Each year, campers return to reconnect with old friends, while new friendships are formed in the most meaningful ways.
There is nothing more heartwarming than watching medically fragile children step away from their daily challenges and simply be kids—laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories together.
Here’s to another incredible summer of courage, connection, and joy. 😍🥰😎

Torino Ranch wrapped in winter’s quiet glory. 🤍❄️
There is something sacred about her in the snow — softened edges, still skies, and a hush that feels almost holy. Blanketed in fresh white, the ranch looks entirely different this time of year… resting, recovering, renewing.
The trails lie still. The fields shimmer in silver light. The cabins stand peacefully beneath a dusting of snow, holding the echoes of laughter from seasons past. Beneath this quiet beauty, she gathers strength for spring.
Soon, these grounds will ring with laughter, courage, friendship, and discovery. For now, we honor this season of rest — this glorious winter wonder that prepares Torino Ranch for another unforgettable chapter in her story.
She sleeps. She renews. She waits. 🤍
And we can’t wait for what’s ahead.

Our second and final Shop with a Cop event was a wonderful success at Walmart, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it such a meaningful day. 💙

At the Brett Torino Foundation, we believe in strengthening communities by supporting the men, women, and families who serve and protect them. This event beautifully reflected that mission.

From Macy's to Walmart, each location provided a welcoming space where children, officers, and families came together to create moments that will be remembered long after the holidays. We are also deeply appreciative of Undersheriff Walsh for his continued support, enthusiasm, and leadership—his presence truly embodies the spirit of this program.

Most of all, thank you to the officers and the families who showed up with generosity, joy, and heart. Seeing children shop side-by-side with the officers who protect our community is a powerful reminder of the connection, trust, and hope these moments create.

This event marks the close of this year’s Shop with a Cop, and we couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who helped make it such a success. 🎄✨ LVMPD

We were honored to sponsor our first Shop With a Cop event of 2025 at Macy's , one of the most meaningful programs we support each year. This two-part event serves hundreds of deserving children from some of the more vulnerable communities in Las Vegas, offering them a joyful holiday shopping experience and a chance to choose gifts they can truly call their own.

More importantly, Shop with a Cop helps children see police officers in a new light — as dedicated protectors, mentors, and compassionate members of their community. These shared moments help bridge perceptions and build trust, showing kids that officers are here for them, their families, and their future.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the participating officers for their time, heart, and unwavering commitment to these children. Thank you for showing them that you are the good guys — the ones who care, protect, and stand with their community. 💙🎄👮‍♂️ LVMPD Foundation LVMPD
