CINCINNATI (February 2, 2026) – February marks American Heart Month and The Christ Hospital Health Network, Cincinnati’s Heart Hospital, will be raising awareness of heart disease. The Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit will host a walk with patients and team members on Wednesday, February 4 at 2:00 p.m. for Heart Month.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women, but it is preventable. Cardiovascular diseases kill nearly 1 in 3 women each year, killing approximately one woman every 80 seconds. Fortunately, we can change that because 80% of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. The Christ Hospital Health Network wants patients to ‘Know Your Numbers’ including, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index (BMI). Keeping those numbers in line will help to lower your risk of heart disease.
Heart Month is a time where The Christ Hospital Health Network looks to educate the community about the heart disease, ways you can improve your odds and sharing that information with others. Maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, healthy blood pressure and getting regular weekly exercise can help lower your risk of developing heart disease.
Throughout the month of February, The Christ Hospital Tower in Mt. Auburn will be lit red to honor heart month. Team members at The Christ Hospital Health Network will also take part in National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 6. The day will be day dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease in women including a group photo at 9:00 a.m. in the hospital.
