From that bold beginning, LifeLink Foundation was established – founded with heart, purpose, and a mission that still guides us today. What started as a nonprofit with big dreams has grown into a vision-driven organization of more than 700 dedicated professionals across west-central Florida, Georgia, parts of South Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
