MARCH MEETING
The March 14 meeting will be hosted by the Jordan’s Family Foundation at Rozi's Wine House, 4900 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio 44107. The Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funding for the research and development of Congenital Heart Diseases.

Mended Hearts, a national nonprofit organization, has been offering the gift of hope to heart disease patients, their families and caregivers for more than 60 years. Recognized for its role in facilitating a positive patient-care experience, Mended Hearts partners with 460 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics and offers services to heart patients through visiting programs, support group meetings and educational forums.

Because Mended Hearts is made up of the very kinds of people it serves -- heart patients, their families, and others impacted by heart disease, its members draw on personal experience as they help others. Mended Hearts support groups help people understand that there can be a rich, rewarding life after heart disease. Members listen, share their experiences, learn from healthcare professionals and volunteer to talk to other heart patients about what they may face including lifestyle changes, depression, recovery, and treatment. Annually, Mended Hearts volunteers make 227,000 hospital visits to patients and 30,000 visits to family members and caregivers.
