More Than Clean—Protecting Hearts, Minds, and Communities

Laurie Sewell shares her personal and professional insights on heart health

In this special episode of Straight Talk!, ISSA President Laurie Sewell joins ISSA Media Director Jeff Cross to explore the central theme that unites all corners of the cleaning and facility services world: health.

Sewell shares her personal and professional insights on heart health, in honor of her upcoming participation in the Go Red for Women campaign.

We also discuss Mental Health Awareness Month and highlight how the cleaning industry can better support the emotional well-being of its workforce.

Plus, with National Nurses Week (May 6-12), she offers a heartfelt perspective on the powerful and often-overlooked bond between environmental services (EVS) professionals and nurses—a partnership critical to patient safety and public health.
