Support and Encouragement for Heart
 Disease Patients and Their Families

For 60 years, Mended Hearts nationally has been offering the gift of hope to heart patients, families and caregivers—bringing all of us together to form a network of caring individuals.  The Mended Hearts’ support group helps people understand that there can be a rich, rewarding life after a heart event.  Members listen, share their experiences and learn from healthcare professionals.   Mended Hearts Chapters partner with hospitals and offer service to heart patients through visiting programs designed to provide the comforting words and inspiration a patient needs to overcome many doubts and fears.

To visit with one of our members online, by telephone or in person, please contact Jeff Davidson at (614) 580-1561 or e-mail him by clicking here.

As of April 30, 2012, we have 92 members in central Ohio (average age 52) and we can share with you a variety of "heart success stories" which include: growing up with congenital heart defects, valve replacements, aneurysm repairs, bypasses and stents, pacemakers and ICD implants, LVAD and heart transplant surgeries.  Our doctor's are incredible..... and advancements in cardiac care and research make our success stories possible!!    We inspire each other to live heart healthy lives and (always) be positive!!
