A Cause Close to Our Hearts
因为十大国际老虎机平台 啊哈 moments, we support the American Heart Association (啊哈). 啊哈 moments are when we realized how much 心 issues can affect 坦帕电 team members and their families.
十大国际老虎机平台的首席执行官 & President Archie Collins was proud to be Chair of the American Heart Association’s 2023 Tampa Bay Heart Walk - and we're proud to say our 坦帕电 team raised $329,活动费用为000英镑!
Archie's 啊哈 moment belongs to a dear friend and late colleague, 肖恩·科普兰, 坦帕电’s late Vice President of 安全. “Anyone who worked with Shawn knows he was a fine man - a trusted advisor, 顾家男人, 有信仰的人, a man who respected and cared for his TECO family. 2月. 11, 2021, he passed away suddenly from a 心 attack,” said Archie. “He often spoke to me about the importance of capturing 心s and minds. 他对我的关心. 他带来了改变. Now, we all can make a difference in his honor."
走得太快. Every year, 350,000 people die from cardiac arrest in the United States. 在你的帮助下, we can do our part to support the 啊哈’s mission – and remember Shawn and everyone else we have lost to 心 disease in the process. Here’s how you can get involved:
Understand Heart Health
Heart health is crucial for our overall well-being, as the 心 is the central “engine” of the body that supplies nutrients to every cell. Maintaining a healthy 心 through exercise, a balanced diet and stress management reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Prioritizing 心 health enhances quality of life, 提高能量水平, and lowers the likelihood of chronic illnesses.
According to the American Heart Association, 心 disease continues to be the greatest health threat to Americans and is still the leading cause of death worldwide. 学习 你可以采取的步骤 to help reverse this statistic.
学习救生心肺复苏
When a 心 stops, seconds matter. 但是太频繁了, when someone has a cardiac arrest away from a hospital, people in a position to help don't. If you had to save the life of a loved one, would you know what to do? Fortunately, Derek Stock did. 只是 观看视频 above to hear our former Polk Power Station’s Engineering and Maintenance Manager describe the life-saving steps he took after lightning struck his young son, 利瓦伊.
