When Paul collapsed after a hockey game, quick-thinking responders and the expert team at HealthAlliance Hospital saved his life. He had suffered a massive heart attack known as a “widowmaker,” requiring emergency surgery in the hospital’s advanced Cardiac Catheterization Lab. Just five days later, Paul was back home—and back on the path to health. Today, this military veteran embraces a healthier future, thanks to the care he received.
“A healthy lifestyle and regular check-ups can save your life and, if ever the unexpected happens, a highly skilled and rapid-response emergency care team is just as critical,” Paul emphasizes. “I’m incredibly grateful for the donors who make it possible for our community to have access to both preventive care and world-class cardiac treatment.”
Your support ensures more patients like Paul have access to life-saving cardiac treatment, right when it’s needed most.
