About Us
Community Care
We feel that it is very important that we as a company reach out to those organizations in our community that assist others in achieving those things that we sometimes taken for granted. Recently, we joined forces with The Bluebird Bus of Hope. Founded in 2022, it is a mobile local outreach program that serves the rural Cincinnati area. Providing much needed essential resources to those who otherwise have none, The Bluebird Bus of Hope is leading the way with an innovative approach in community outreach.
Our president, Steve Bitzer also serves on the board of directors for the the Cincinnati chapter of Hard Hats with Heart. A subsidiary of the American Heart Association, this initiative provides the construction industry with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to maintain a healthy team in the office and in the field.
Together We Can Make A Difference
Our Commitment to Heart Health in Construction
At Deerfield Construction, we believe in building stronger communities—not only through our projects but by investing in the well-being of the people who bring those projects to life. That's why we're proud to partner with Hard Hats with Heart, a Cincinnati-based initiative created by the American Heart Association.
Our President, Steve Bitzer, serves on the Board of Directors for Hard Hats with Heart and is deeply passionate about this cause. Steve recognizes the unique challenges that industrial and construction workers face—physically demanding labor, early start times, long hours, and limited access to healthy food options. These factors all contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which disproportionately impacts the construction industry.
Hard Hats with Heart was developed to change that. This initiative is designed to empower industrial workers with tools and resources that encourage healthier, longer lives. By integrating health, well-being, and prevention solutions directly into the culture of construction work, this program is making a significant impact in our industry.
Construction Industry Resource Tools
Through partnerships with companies like ours, the American Heart Association has developed practical resources tailored for use on job sites. These include:
- Blood Pressure Management
- CPR Training
- Fitness Guidance
- Healthy Habit Development
- Heart Health Education
- Mental Well-being Support
- Nutrition Advice
- Stroke Awareness
- Tobacco & Alcohol Reduction
By partnering with Hard Hats with Heart, we are committed to ensuring our teams have the knowledge and support they need to prioritize their health. Together, we're building not only safer jobsites but stronger, healthier futures for our industry.
Bluebird Bus of Hope
We are proud to support The Bluebird Bus of Hope, a mobile nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap between services and underserved communities. Founded in 2022 by Polly Camery, this unique outreach organization travels to churches, businesses, and community events to offer mentorship, resources, and hope — all free of charge. Their onboard café and meeting space create a welcoming environment where certified life coaches assess needs and connect individuals to essential services.
Why focus on the rural communities? Many face challenges such as limited mental health resources, lack of transportation, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, addiction, stigmas, and a general lack of access to essential services. The Bluebird Bus of Hope is dedicated to meeting these needs directly and compassionately.
Polly has been recognized with multiple awards, including the 2022 Emerging Leader of the Year and the 2022 Save the Storks Award at the Pro-Life Innovators Summit. With her guidance, the Bluebird Bus of Hope continues to revolutionize the value placed on life in our communities.
