Why is Chimney Rock red?
To bring an awareness that heart disease is
the #1 killer of women and men.

Every woman needs to know about heart disease.

The Heart Truth is that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women. In fact, one in three women dies of heart disease. But heart disease can also lead to disability and a significantly decreased quality of life.

Unfortunately, most women don't know The Heart Truth. Only 20 percent of women identify heart disease as the greatest health problem facing women today.

Panhandle Public Health District received a mini-grant from Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. We subcontracted our $2400 award from to the following entities:

Box Butte General Hospital
UNL Extension, Sioux County
Kids Plus, Inc.
Western Community Health Resources/Walkabout of Chadron

We were extremely pleased with the creativity and resourcefulness awardees displayed in spreading the awareness of the “Heart Truth.” The following are pictures from two of the events that were held in the Panhandle.
