Well done to Dr. Fava and the medical crew at Nathan Benderson Park for their work to save a life. Safety Squadron’s Terry Galvin moved to extract an athlete who was unconscious. Sarasota County Fire Department was on scene with Dr. Fava and the athlete.
Rowing News covered the event in April 2025: when a masters rower had a heart attack at Nathan Benderson Park, everything was in place to save his life. ABC7 MySuncoast later filmed the reunion with Darrel Davidson and the medical team.
