Board Chairman Throws Out First Pitch to Strike Out Stroke

Board of Supervisors Chairman Ron Roberts threw out the first pitch at the Padres game last night, kicking off a winning game against the Brewers and a new campaign to “Strike out Stroke.”

The campaign includes the video above, which debuted on Petco Park’s stadium screen. It explains the warning signs of a stroke and also some startling statistics about who is most susceptible. Fans at the game could take advantage of free blood pressure screenings, and members of the San Diego Stroke Consortium handed out stroke prevention resources.

The campaign is a partnership between the Padres, Chairman Roberts and the County Health and Human Services Agency.
