Mended Hearts is a community-based, nationwide heart patient support network founded in 1951. Heart patients are of all ages, so Mended Little Hearts was launched in 2004 to provide support and encouragement to parents and families of children born with congenital heart defects and heart disease.
Recognized for its role in facilitating a positive patient-care experience, Mended Hearts partners with hospitals and cardiac rehabilitation clinics offering heart-patient support through visiting programs, group meetings and educational forums.
Everything Mended Hearts does is to empower and educate patients, families and caregivers.
The mission of Mended Hearts and Mended Little Hearts is to inspire hope and improve the quality of life for heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support. This happens during face-to-face visits in the hospital, as well as support through online visits and phone visits.
We are a national organization with nearly 20,000 Mended Hearts and Mended Little Hearts members.
- We offer visiting programs in 460 hospitals with 4,000 trained, accredited visitors.
- We provide more than 215,000 patient visits annually.
