“The leading cause of death in the United States is cardiovascular disease,” said Michael Seeley, President of the Health First Foundation.
“We chose this year’s beneficiary with hopes of being able to bring these life-saving services to Brevard, potentially helping thousands of heart patients right here in our own community. The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze us.”
