HPP Shed’s Light On Suicide Prevention and Raises Nearly $3000 During Community Walk

Hospital Physician Partners (HPP) recently raised over $2700 for the “American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. HPP participated in the “Out of the Darkness” community walk which is AFSP’s effort to raise money for research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives. The monies raised also help increase national awareness about depression and suicide, assist in advocacy for mental health issues, and assist survivors of suicide loss.

HPP raised the most money in the shortest amount of time and is still continuing to raise funds as part of the Out of the Darkness initiative. It is estimated that in the United States, a person dies by suicide every 15 minutes, claiming more than 34,000 lives each year.
