Halloween is quickly approaching, and no matter what costume you’re wearing, WakeMed Injury Prevention has some important tips to make your Halloween Safe! 👇🎃 - Always stick to one side of the street and never dart between parked cars. - Use crosswalks when possible, and never cross in the middle of the road. - Help drivers to see you by carrying a flashlight or glow stick. - Plan your route and stick to a familiar neighborhood. Always avoid houses with lights off. - Popular trick-or-treating hours are from 5:30 to 9:30 pm, so drivers need to be on high alert and keep all electronic devices down. Slow down, especially when driving through a residential neighborhood, and take extra time looking for pedestrians. 👻 Learn more helpful tips on how to keep your family safe this Halloween with this information from Safe Kids Wake County ➡️ safekids.org/halloween . . #WakeMed #Twinkle #Halloween #HealthLivesHere #HappyHalloween #SafeKids #WakeCounty #Raleigh #Cary #InjuryPrevention

It's #WorldStrokeDay, and our award-winning Stroke Program at WakeMed provides a comprehensive approach to stroke care! You're in good hands, from prevention and diagnosis to in- and outpatient care to physical rehab. 🤝 In 2024, WakeMed became the second hospital in the state and the fifth community hospital in the nation to offer Stroke VNS Rehab. The implantation of this vagus nerve stimulator and the intensive occupational therapy that follows, has improved upper extremity strength/use for our chronic stroke patients. ❤️ To our entire WakeMed Stroke Program, thank you for your outstanding work! . . #WakeMed #WorldStrokeDay #BEFAST #StrokeAwareness #Stroke #WakeCounty
