Hot Shot Delivers Healthy Hearts

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

February is National Heart Month, and Hot Shot wants to continue that focus and dedication to heart health- for our employees, our customers and everyone we serve.

But our service isn’t just good for your bottom line; It saves lives. Hot Shot is one of the lead delivery services for time-sensitive medical materials- such as heart valves. In the medical world, a late delivery can be the difference between a healthy patient and major medical problems, so we take our job seriously. Your packages are always handled with extreme care by our highly skilled, professional couriers, ensuring that even the most important packages reach their destinations on time and undamaged.

It is no wonder that multiple hospitals, pharmacies and clinics in and around Houston rely on Hot Shot for medical courier and delivery services. We pride ourselves on being there whenever and wherever you need us. We have a heart for delivery – because when we don’t miss a beat, you don’t a miss beat.

As part of that mission, Hot Shot supports positive health for everyone, especially our own drivers. Hot Shot’s drivers are in shape. They sort of have to be to run packages all over, on time. To aid in prevention and help increase awareness for heart disease, our team at Hot Shot Delivery participates in a Hot Shot Health & Wellness program. Each year, a certified trainer comes into our office to help our team members adopt a plan to become physically fit.

In the video below, Eric Donaldson, President of Hot Shot Delivery, talks about how important heart health is to our company:

Eric has lost 60 lbs. in just one year! His health conscience decision to lose weight changed his life and, of course, helped lower his risk of heart disease. You too can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing heart disease, just follow these heart healthy tips by the Office of Disease Prevention and Heath Promotion:

-Watch your weight.

-Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke.

-Control your cholesterol and blood pressure.

-If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.

-Get active and eat healthy.

-Manage stress.

Do what you can by being aware of your own heart health and get involved in the community to help spread the word about heart disease.

Delivering Awareness In October

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Pink is everywhere and for good reason: October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Following behind skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among U.S. Women. Breast cancer makes up for 1 in 4 cases of cancer found in women. 70-80% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations.

The month of October is a reminder that breast cancer awareness is much needed. Great progress has been made in research in the area of breast cancer. According to breastcancer.org, as of 2010, there were more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. I am proud and honored to know a few of these many survivors and will continue to support the awareness of this worthwhile cause.

Hot Shot Delivery is blessed to sit in the heart of one of the largest medical cities in the U.S. Our location has given us the opportunity to take part in all sorts of medical related deliveries. For example, we have the opportunity daily to deliver medical genetic samples that are used by physicians to determine the health of the unborn, the severity of a disease, or to determine if an organ donor is a proper match. This is a responsibly that we do not take lightly.

Serving as Houston’s Courier to the medical community comes with great reward and great responsibility, but occasionally we get a good laugh out of it. One day I went home to tell my kids about the very important new study that we were assisting with. We were responsible for picking up soiled diapers and delivering them to a laboratory for testing. To this day, my kids get a kick out of telling people that we deliver poopy diapers.

Today, as we have always done, we “deliver Houston” and make sure that each and every one of our deliveries gets handled with the respect and attention it deserves. After all, we are not just delivering an envelope, a box, or a sample. Sometimes, we are delivering a life!

Until next time,
Eric
