SRMC is the Liquid Waste contractor at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site.
According to Joel Cantrell, SRMC Director of Environment, Safety, Health, and Quality and 2024 CSRA Heart Walk Co-Chair, this event gives employees the opportunity to emphasize both heart health and community giving.
“Time and again, our workforce has proven to be caring and generous,” Cantrell said. “By giving of their time, their talent, and their treasure, they regularly demonstrate their involvement in our communities and their desire to help fight disabling health conditions.”
Tank Farm Salt/Sludge Engineering Manager Sarah Bauske was this year’s SRMC Heart Walk Campaign Chairperson. She said this event gives employees a chance to support the health of surrounding communities.
"Caring for your heart is one of the most important things you can do to live a healthier life,” Bauske said. “Each year, our employees demonstrate their concern for heart health by supporting the Heart Walk as they are able – through contributions and getting together for a heart-healthy walk.”
Approximately 50 SRMC employees turned out for the walk at SRP Park in North Augusta, S.C. All funds raised by SRMC employees in the annual Heart Walk go to the American Heart Association to support research to save lives.
SRMC comprises parent company BWX Technologies, Inc. with partners Amentum and Fluor. Its team brings the capabilities necessary to accelerate cleanup at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site through safe nuclear operations, optimized and integrated mission execution, and strong corporate governance.
