Lessons from a heart gone bad

Upstate vocal coach Robert Hoefer Jr. survived a heart attack and stroke and was moved not only to change his habits but encourage others to as well.  Hoefer is celebrating nearly two years of healthy living after the heart troubles prompted him to complete the HeartLife program at Prisma Health.  He’s a barbecue aficionado who has launched a salt-free version that allows him to sell his “secret recipe”.  Hoefer worked with the FDA and South Carolina DHEC to meet requirements for his salt-free seasoning blend.
