Program in Development
The Mission
The Heart & Mind Wellness & Patient Advocacy Network is designed to support individuals and families navigating the physical, mental, and emotional impact of cardiovascular disease.
Through patient advocacy education, supportive resources, community connection, and navigation guidance, the program will help individuals and caregivers feel more informed, supported, and prepared as they navigate diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and life beyond a cardiovascular event.
What the Network Will Provide
- Patient Advocacy Education: Practical resources that help individuals prepare for medical appointments, ask informed questions, communicate concerns, and take an active role in their care.
- Heart & Mind Wellness Resources: Educational resources addressing the emotional and mental well-being that can accompany cardiovascular diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and ongoing care.
- Peer & Community Connection: Opportunities for individuals, survivors, caregivers, and families to connect through supportive community-based activities and shared experiences.
- Patient & Family Navigation: Guidance to help individuals and families identify appropriate healthcare, wellness, and community resources.
- Caregiver & Family Support: Resources that recognize the important role families and caregivers play throughout the cardiovascular health journey.
