Marc's Second Chance: Surviving a Heart Attack at AdventHealth North Pinellas
Marc was working under his truck when chest pain hit. Minutes later, he collapsed at the ER doors. The team at AdventHealth North Pinellas rushed into action, performing CPR and using a defibrillator to bring him back from flatline — twice. Matt, one of his nurses, leaned in and said, “You just had a heart attack. Relax. We need to get you through this.”
From the Cath lab to the bedside, every person treated Marc with compassion and urgency. They didn’t just save his life — they gave his daughter, his mom and his entire family a second chance. Because of that care, Marc is alive today. Help ensure every patient receives that same compassion. Make a gift today to the AdventHealth North Pinellas Foundation.
