February is American Heart Month, a time to pay special attention to understanding, preventing, and treating heart disease — the leading cause of death in the nation. The Reed Family Companies are again participating in National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 3rd to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and help save lives.
We became members of the Central Valley and Sacramento Area chapter of Hard Hats with Heart because it is a construction industry-specific health initiative of the American Heart Association that provides resources to create positive health outcomes for everyone in our family, including craftworkers who are disproportionately affected by heart disease and stroke. The Reed Family Companies are again participating in National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 3rd, to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and help save lives. We ask that you wear red on this day to show your support for the fight against heart disease!
The “BUILD YOUR HEALTH” section of the newsletter covers important wellness topics each month and these topics are also included in monthly tail gate safety meetings.
