Greater Cincinnati Hard Hats with Heart 

Together we can make a difference
Bay Area
Hard Hats

It’s no secret that industrial careers are hard work.

They are physically and mentally demanding. Requiring early start times, long hours, strenuous activity and often, eating what's on hand rather than what's healthy. We also know that cardiovascular disease disproportionately effects construction industries. That's why the American Heart Association created an initiative to engage industrial workers across the country and inspire them to live healthier, longer lives.

A Note from Our 2025 Hard Hats with Heart Leadership

“Unfortunately, my family has been impacted over several generations by significant cardiovascular health issues which I believe could have been addressed at some level with the proper awareness, education and care options which is what The American Heart Association’s values revolve around in an effort to positively influence lives.”

Co-Chair, Steven Swisher, Turner Construction

 

“I have historically supported this very important cause in order to promote and improve the health and vitality of our design and construction community members. Healthy choices and heart health awareness became even more important to me and my family recently as my Dad experienced a significant health scare which lead to major unexpected heart surgery. He is on the road to recovery thanks to a wonderful care team and years of invaluable research that has given us the interventions we have today.”
