Your Generosity Is the Heartbeat of Their Hope

Steven’s Life-Saving Care at AdventHealth Heart of Florida

In April 2024, Steven collapsed at home and was rushed to AdventHealth Heart of Florida. He was clinically dead for ten minutes before the ICU team brought him back. Doctors placed him in a coma and his family chose AdventHealth Connerton for long-term care. There, Steven woke up and recognized his wife right away.

Today, Steven is walking, breathing on his own and defying expectations. His wife said, “It’s a hospital but it doesn’t feel like one. It feels like hope.” Help bring that same hope to more families. Make a gift today to the AdventHealth Polk Foundation.
