The AHA is recognizing the organizations following the most recent application period in January.

Through the Fit-Friendly Worksite designation, the AHA works with area employers on their health and wellness programs.

Nearly 16,000 Utica–area residents and more than 5,500 Southern Tier residents are currently working for companies that the American Heart Association is recognizing with the designation, the organization said.
