Bruce Brown, a Zephyrhills man, survived a near-fatal cardiac arrest during a beach vacation last summer thanks to three strangers who performed CPR and used an AED. Now eight months into recovery with a defibrillator, Brown shares his story during American Heart Month to emphasize the importance of CPR training and AED access. Dr. Amber Stephens highlights the life-saving potential of immediate defibrillation, while the American Heart Association warns of rising hypertension, diabetes, and obesity rates. Brown also launched a program to support legal immigrants’ community integration.
