Research shows that women who have close family relationships and good friendships make better recoveries from heart events. WomenHeart offers a range of support services to help women heart disease survivors live healthier lives. Through WomenHeart’s support programs and services, women form a special bond and can freely share information and stories of hope and survival.
Our local support networks provide women like you the critical peer-to-peer support, information and encouragement that you need. Led by trained patient volunteers, more than 100 support groups meet monthly all over the country. Get started by finding a group near you. In the wake of COVID-19, some groups are back to meeting in person and others are meeting virtually over Zoom. Reach out to your local leader for information.
If you can’t find a support network in your community, inquire about HeartSisters Online, an entirely virtual support network for women anywhere in the country, by emailing heartsistersonline@womenheart.org. WomenHeart also offers on-one-on support through our SisterMatch program and supports an online patient forum through Inspire.
