At Reed Family Companies, caring for our people goes beyond the jobsite. February is Heart Health Month, a time to pause and focus on something that affects all of us, our heart health and overall well-being. A healthy workforce starts with healthy individuals, and taking care of our hearts helps ensure we can continue showing up strong for our families, our coworkers, and our communities.

Heart disease remains one of the leading health risks in the United States, but the good news is that small, consistent choices can make a meaningful difference. Staying active, managing stress, eating balanced meals, and knowing your health numbers all play an important role in maintaining heart health. Even simple steps, like taking a short walk during breaks, choosing water over sugary drinks, or scheduling an annual checkup can add up over time.

RFC supports heart health not only through awareness, but through action. Our teams
proudly participate in American Heart Association Heart Walks in communities such as Sacramento, Lathrop, and Phoenix, walking together to raise awareness, support research, and encourage healthier lifestyles. These events reflect our commitment to caring for our people and giving back through Reed Community Service.

As part of Heart Health Month, RFC employees are encouraged to participate in Wear Red Day on February 6. Wearing red is a simple way to show support for heart health awareness and to remind ourselves and each other of the importance of taking care of our hearts on and off the job.

Heart Health Month is also a reminder to look out for one another. Encouraging safe work practices, checking in on teammates, and supporting wellness initiatives all contribute to a healthier workplace. When we take care of ourselves and each other, we build stronger teams, safer jobsites, and more resilient communities.
This February, take a moment to focus on your heart. Small changes today can lead to healthier tomorrows because caring for our people is at the heart of everything we do at RFC.
