Saint Luke's staff and patients had a wonderful experience at the American Heart Association Go Red for Women luncheon, thanks to a table sponsored by Saint Luke's Muriel I. Kauffman Women's Heart Center. This empowering event emphasizes the importance of preventing heart disease and stroke through healthy lifestyle choices, while also raising vital funds for research and education initiatives. With cardiovascular diseases claiming a woman's life every 80 seconds, it’s crucial to build awareness and promote heart health. ❤️ (fb)

Saint Luke's Muriel I. Kauffman Women's Heart Center proudly sponsored the first-ever sound bath experience at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Dr. Valerie Rader, a cardiologist with the Women's Heart Center, kicked off the event by sharing the benefits of lowering and monitoring your blood pressure. The session, led by Unplug KC, used the power of sound and vibration to relieve stress and calm the body and mind. Participants lay on mats and "bathed" in the soothing sound of finely tuned quartz crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and more. We offered free blood pressure checks before and after the session to see what effect the experience had. Wellness sounds good. 🎶 🔔 🎵 (fb)
