Jeremy Lewis has enjoyed a wonderful life with his wife, Pamela, for nearly three decades. However, everything nearly came crashing down in January 2024 when Jeremy suffered a heart attack at home due to a blockage in his left anterior descending artery. This condition, often referred to as a "widow-maker," carries a high risk of death. Pamela rushed her husband to the hospital. There, two coronary stents were inserted, restoring critical blood flow to his left anterior descending artery. Now a year later, Jeremy, who works in Fine Wire Spooling at our ABH facility, is feeling well and looking forward to his 30th year of marriage this June. ???? As we celebrate American Heart Month ??, we’re proud to supply our customers with highly engineered products used in lifesaving medical innovations that give people like Jeremy more time with the ones they love. #americanheartmonth #hearthealthmonth #stents #medtech
