When Col. Patrick Johnson experienced a severe stroke in the middle of the night in 2013, his wife, Kathie Johnson, miraculously woke up and immediately recognized the symptoms and called 911. Kathie knows that “time is brain” — and her quick actions helped ensure that Col. Johnson received tPA, the clot-busting treatment that was crucial to his recovery.
Together, they started a local stroke support group and contributed to a national awareness campaign that highlighted the importance of recognizing stroke warning signs and calling 911. They continue to share their story and work with others to increase awareness.
