Health Equity

Working toward health equity is the right thing to do for all organizations. Research shows that promoting health equity can benefit employee health and productivity, and reduce health care costs. The health of the entire nation will improve if employers commit to actions that eliminate inequities – benefitting employees, their families and their communities.

Be the Beat

As we continue to settle into our next normal, we’re asking everyone to keep the rhythm going and Be the Beat. Wherever you are at in reclaiming your healthy rhythm - keep the beat going – turn up the tempo, set a new goal.

And for American Heart Month this year, we’re rallying everyone in February to: Save A Life. Learn CPR.

More than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. each year. Only about 40% of those people receive the immediate emergency care they need. This February, American Heart Month, make it easier for your employees to learn Hands-Only CPR and become lifesavers, not just bystanders, in the workplace.
