Hard Hats with Heart is a construction-specific initiative from the American Heart Association to improve the cardiovascular health of Charleston’s construction workers. The campaign’s focus is to integrate health, well-being and prevention solutions into the industry’s culture by inspiring companies to implement initiatives to help employees improve health and well-being. Examples include providing healthy food options, promoting physical activity during breaks, implementing stress-reducing programs, educating employees about the signs of heart disease, and teaching employees CPR.
“Working in the construction industry we are surrounded by employees, team members, and friends that work hard and lead stressful lifestyles,” says Spraberry. “I am proud to take part in the Hard Hats with Heart initiative as we work to educate and provide resources through the American Heart Association to address these issues.”
Hard Hats with Heart culminates with an annual networking event that will take place on October 15, 2024 at The Stagehouse at Credit One Stadium.
