WomenHeart Houston: Support for Women, by Women (Since 2013)

WomenHeart Houston is a support group providing peer-to-peer patient support and education for women living with heart disease. This kind of support is crucial to a woman’s recovery and well being, and that of her family. WomenHeart Houston is the first and only support group in the Texas Medical Center for women living with heart and vascular disease and meetings are free of charge and open to all, regardless of where treatment is received.

Texas Heart Institute – a proud member of WomenHeart’s National Hospital Alliance program – has partnered with WomenHeart to support women cardiac patients by serving as the host site for the WomenHeart Houston chapter. Visit WomenHeart Houston on Facebook or contact us at womenhearthouston@gmail.com for updates on time, location and planned group activities.
