Parrish Healthcare Donates Life-Saving AED to LifePointe Ministries and Provides On-Site Training
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (May 21, 2025)—Parrish Healthcare donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to LifePointe Ministries, a local organization dedicated to serving the community. In addition to the donation, two nurses from Parrish Healthcare’s People Development Team provided hands-on AED training to the organization’s leadership team, ensuring they are prepared to respond confidently in the event of a cardiac emergency.
During the training, Kristina Crabtree, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, Director of People Development, and Dana Dolin, BSN, RN, Professional Development Generalist, reviewed the vital steps to take when someone is unresponsive, including how to assess the situation, initiate CPR and properly use the AED until emergency services arrive. The goal of the training session was to empower LifePointe Ministry’s team with the knowledge and confidence to act quickly in an emergency when every second counts.
“We are more than thankful for our friends at Parrish,” said Pastor Royce “Scooter” Morrison, Senior Pastor at LifePointe Ministries. “The continued commitment to improve quality of life for the entire community is something we can all be thankful for. It’s partnerships like these that make all we do even possible. I often say, together we are better, and our partnership with Parrish proves that every day.”
“Parrish Healthcare is committed to extending health and safety beyond our organization’s walls,” said Crabtree. “Providing LifePointe Ministries with an AED and training supports our shared mission to safeguard lives in our community and equip those who need it most with life-saving tools.”
This initiative is a part of Parrish Healthcare’s ongoing efforts to provide local organizations with the tools and knowledge needed to respond to emergencies and promote public health. In February 2024, Parrish Healthcare, in partnership with the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation, donated new AEDs to all youth sports leagues in North Brevard, as sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death among young athletes.To learn more about Parrish Healthcare, and their ongoing outreach initiatives within the North Brevard community, please visit parrishhealthcare.com/news.
