Support Networks

Led by trained patient volunteers, WomenHeart’s local support groups meet monthly to provide women living with heart disease critical peer-to-peer support, information and encouragement. Please note, the majority of our support network meetings are conducted in English. Visit the Community Calendar, or contact a WomenHeart Support Network Coordinator for details on the next scheduled meeting. 
  • There are currently no WomenHeart Support Networks in Alaska. If you would like to start a support group in Alaska, contact us here.   

Other Available Patient Support Services:

  • WomenHeart Virtual Support Networks are monthly online meetings peer-led by WomenHeart Champions. All support meetings are done using web-conferencing - not chat rooms or forums. You can talk in real-time to other women living with heart disease from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
  • SisterMatch connects newly diagnosed women with trained volunteers who provide one-on-one peer support via telephone, email and in-person. Meet your HeartSister today.

  • WomenHeart’s online community, hosted by Inspire, provides a vibrant forum for emotional support and information sharing among women with heart disease and their family members and friends.

 

From our WomenHeart Champions:

Welcome! My name is Sharen Sleater. I am a WomenHeart Champion and the Western District Support Leader for WomenHeart Support Networks in Hawaii, California, Nevada, Utah, and Alaska.  Being a WomenHeart Champion, Support Network Coordinator, Advocacy Participant and District Support Leader means the world to me! The association with WomenHeart has given me a purpose and drive in my later years that I treasure.  To be able to make a difference in the lives of women living with or at risk of heart disease is precious to me and I strive to improve on my messages and the presentations I deliver.  I look forward to a long association with WomenHeart and all the women who also serve.
