HR Heart Walk

The staff of the Human Resources Division participated in the Metro Atlanta Heart Walk, held at Atlantic Station on Saturday, September 22, 2012. The American Heart Association's Heart Walk promotes physical activity to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

The HR Team raised approximately $3,700 for the Heart Walk this year!

Funds raised support projects like these:

• Putting up-to-the-minute research into doctors’ hands so they can better prevent and treat heart disease among patients.
• Groundbreaking pediatric heart and stroke research. About 36,000 babies are born with heart defects each year - research is the key to saving babies’ lives.
• Getting life-saving information to those who need it most – information that can save a life, like how to eat better, how to recognize the warning signs of heart attack, and how to talk to a doctor about critical health choices.
