(HME) recently earned a “Gold Level Award” from the American Heart Association saluting the importance the company places on providing a healthy workplace, and for its efforts in encouraging regular physical activity and good nutrition among its employees.

HME Vice President of Human Resources Kathy Vail explained, “HME places a lot of emphasis on supporting an organizational culture that promotes everyday health and wellness to help improve people’s fit-mindedness.”
