February is American Heart Month—and this Friday, Feb. 6, is Wear Red Day ❤️

Your heart and kidneys are more connected than you might think. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major risk factor for both heart disease and kidney disease, damaging blood vessels and reducing kidney function over time.

Managing blood pressure through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular check-ups can help protect both your heart and kidneys.

We’re thrilled to share some wonderful news! NKC Port Angeles home dialysis patient Gabriele Ellis, who you may remember from our 2025 Gala video, received a kidney transplant!

Gabriele was all set to join us at last October’s Discovery Gala—but got the best call instead: a kidney was ready. Today, she’s three months post-transplant and already back in the saddle, enjoying this exciting new chapter of life.

A big shout-out to our Port Angeles care team for helping her reach this moment! 💙

There’s nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day. While many canned soups are packed with salt, making soup at home lets you control the ingredients and keep it kidney-friendly. One of our favorite kidney-healthy soup recipes is Coconut Chicken Soup—slightly creamy with just a bit of heat and perfect for cold-weather meals.

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease. Among our patients, about 40% have kidney disease due to diabetes. While it’s a serious condition, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help keep diabetes under control and may even reverse it.

Finding new ways to cook at home can open the door to healthier meals. From toaster ovens to induction burners, there are so many ways to make homemade food work for your kitchen. Avoiding salty, processed foods can make a big impact on kidney health, and cooking at home is a great way to control sodium for healthier kidneys.
