Hollywood, Florida, November 23, 2011 – In their continuing effort to provide support and resources for the communities they serve, 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 vital 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. “We as a company are concerned with all aspects of health in our communities,” said Al Emerick, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Hospital Physician Partners. “This is a cause that needs our attention and the attention of our communities. We are proud to be involved with such a worthy cause.”
In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 15 minutes, claiming more than 34,000 lives each year. Click here to learn more about the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. To see photos of the HPP Team at the Out of the Darkness walk, visit our Facebook page.
