Man who suffered cardiac arrest on Peanut Island makes recovery

Jul 9, 2025

From WPTV

🚨 A life was saved thanks to the quick actions of bystanders and first responders on Peanut Island and we’re proud to share that the patient was brought to #PalmBeachGardensMedicalCenter for advanced cardiac care. 💙

Bruce Brown went into cardiac arrest on the island last week as good Samaritans provided 45 minutes of CPR. After a water taxi had to be commandeered to get him off the island, he came to us for the following week as he recovered.

Stories like this remind us how crucial every second is during a heart emergency. We’re grateful to play a role in helping patients recover and return to the people they love.
