Two Lehigh Valley businesses have been designated as American Heart Association “gold level” businesses for providing fit-friendly worksites, the heart association announced last week.
Air Products, which is based in Upper Macungie Township, and B.Braun Medical, Inc., which is based in Bethlehem, received the designation.
The heart association said in a news release that the companies were recognized because they both carry out wellness activities such as walking programs, gym access and making healthy foods available in company meeting and vending machines.
