Women's-Only Cardiac Support Group

If you are a woman living with heart disease, you are invited to join other women to discuss your experiences, strategies for heart healthy living and solutions to the challenges you face.

The Women’s-Only Cardiac Support Group at the Minneapolis Heart Institute® is a weekly program that is designed especially for women to provide support, encouragement, camaraderie and helpful information about improving lifestyle habits and heart health. Guest speakers and featured topics will help you learn about ways to better heart health.
