Purpose

To provide support and encouragement to heart transplant recipients and heart failure candidates awaiting transplants and their families through prayer, volunteer service, heart failure and transplant education, social activities and financial aid.

History

The support group was created in June 1993. Transplant recipients Terrie Carr and the late Debbie Baker were the founders of the group. Up until 1999, the group was strictly for heart transplant recipients, but in 1999 the group opened its doors to heart failure patients and patients undergoing clinical heart research studies.
