nbkc Goes Red for Heart Health

nbkc is a proud partner of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement for the 4th year in a row. Heart disease causes about 1 in 3 deaths every year — making it the #1 killer among women. And since the warning signs aren’t always the same as they are for men, the lack of awareness about how it affects women puts them at an even greater risk.

The good news is — nearly 80% of cardiac events can be prevented through the right education and lifestyle changes. The Go Red For Women movement calls for more research, awareness, and swifter action toward preventing heart disease in women and preserving women’s heart health. nbkc is proud to be a champion for the cause and is going red all month to raise awareness and help more women lead longer, healthier lives.
