Nation of Lifesavers
Thanks to an anonymous gift, The American Heart Association successfully equipped all 46 Hillsborough County parks that have youth sports leagues with the opportunity to save lives by providing CPR training and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This critical donation not only enhances safety but ensures that in the face of a cardiac emergency, timely intervention is possible.
