We will welcome a speaker from the American Heart Accociation, Valerie Piko, along with Mary Velez from OVMC who will speak on wellness programs and health education resources. They will also touch on the importance of CPR and AED education in the workplace. Finally, a good discussion about what companies can do to help keep their employees healthy.
Valerie Piko is a Division Director with the American Heart Association. Valerie started out as a volunteer on the Ohio Valley Heart Ball Committee and was excited to become a full time AHA employee when the opportunity presented itself. Valerie serves the Ohio Valley and Greater Morgantown regions. The Ohio Valley Chapter holds two large fundraisers each year – the Ohio Valley Heart Ball in St. Clairsville and the Ohio Valley Heart Walk in Wheeling. Valerie also works with companies on wellness programs and community health education.
Mary Velez is Community Outreach Manager at Ohio Valley Medical Center and East Ohio
Regional Hospital. After being wellness director for 18 years and then going on to other duties, she
is excited that the hospital is again rolling out a wellness program for their 1600 employees and Mary
is spearheading this initiative. In addition, Mary is the Director of the Matt Velez Save a Life Campaign.
Her main focus is to insure that all schools and public places have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and that all staff are trained in CPR/AED use.
