Welcome to our chapter serving the Treasure Valley of Southwest Idaho!
We invite you to join us for our no-cost monthly meetings from September through May, where we focus on providing support, education, and connection for everyone on their heart health journey.
Be sure to scroll down the page for information on our upcoming meetings. We look forward to seeing you there!
Mended Hearts of Boise - Get to know us....
Our mission is to inspire hope and improve the quality of life of heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support, education, and advocacy.
Maybe you were recently diagnosed with heart disease or had a heart event. You may have been prescribed a new medication, or just had heart surgery or other medical procedures. Now you might be feeling overwhelmed, scared, confused and alone. We want you to know that no matter what your diagnosis is or how you found us, Mended Hearts® is here to provide support, education and to advocate for you and with you. No one should have to walk this path alone!
We are here in person in the Boise area to provide peer support and education as you learn to live with heart disease. We want to walk with you as you journey with a mended heart.
We view managing heart disease as a marathon, not a sprint. Living a healthy life isn’t something we can do in weeks, months or even years; it is something we must work toward throughout our lifetime. We can learn so much from one another and it's not such a lonely journey when you are not alone.
