❤️ Go Red for Women’s Heart Health Day ❤️

Today, NCKMC is going RED to raise awareness for women’s heart health! Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women—but the good news is that many risks can be reduced with education, prevention and regular care.

We’re proud to support women in our community by promoting heart-healthy habits, routine screenings and knowing the signs of a heart attack. Wear red today, start the conversation and take one step toward a healthier heart—for yourself and the women you love.

Leaders from Salina Regional Health Center were recognized on the floor of the Kansas House of Representatives yesterday during Representative Dawn Wolf’s Point of Personal Privilege as a culminating celebration of the organization’s 30th anniversary. Representative Steve Howe joined the celebration as well!

Salina Regional Health Center was formed in 1995 with the consolidation of Asbury-Salina Regional Medical Center and St. John’s Regional Health Center. The effort was driven with the intent to develop a stronger regional health system to serve the needs of individuals across north central Kansas and beyond.

Over the years the organization has grown to include three affiliate critical access hospitals in Lindsborg, Concordia and Abilene and employ 93 physicians, 91 advanced practice providers, 637 nurses and more than 2,600 other health care workers who serve every day to take care of the region’s health needs.

🔥 It’s National Burn Awareness Week! 🔥
Burn risks are present in every home and workplace—from kitchens and offices to construction sites, fire stations, factories, farms and military settings.

The good news: burn prevention doesn’t require major changes. Small, consistent actions can greatly reduce injuries and help keep you, your family, and your coworkers safe.

Here are a few simple burn safety tips to get started:
• Keep hot items out of children’s reach
• Stay attentive when cooking
• Use protective equipment when working with heat or chemicals
• Test smoke alarms regularly
• Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn
