Mt. Vernon, NY, May xx, 2015- Heart disease is the number one cause of death in New York, but with the help of advocates, healthcare professionals, donors, volunteers and more, it is possible to make a difference. That is why Unitex, a regional business with locations throughout the Northeast and a leader in the healthcare laundry industry, is joining forces with Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City to help support the American Heart Association’s Wall Street Run and Heart Walk (Thursday, May 28th).
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association’s premiere event for raising funds to help save lives. It is also the backdrop for a fun day geared toward families, encouraging them to take part in physical activities and heart-healthy living. Executives at Unitex will be part of Mt. Sinai’s team on the day of the Heart Walk and are also helping to raise money to help support this cause in advance of the event. Mt. Sinai (in conjunction with Unitex) has almost reached their goal of $50,000. Unitex is also matching all donations made by its company employees.
“At Unitex, we embrace programs that help build healthier lives,” said David Potack, Vice President of Unitex. “Since Mt. Sinai is a valued customer at Unitex, we are proud to support (and be a part of) their Heart Walk team among other initiatives. We are excited to take part in this event that has such an impact on the New York community.”
