About the Program
Young Mended Hearts (YMH) was created to give hope and support to young adults (ages 18 to 55 suggested) who have heart disease, including congenital heart disease (CHD).
Many peer support groups for patients who have heart disease are made up of older adults, and young adult patients often don’t feel they fit in. Young adults are dealing with heart disease at a different stage of life and have different life experiences as they manage their heart disease.
Young Mended Hearts is a peer-support program designed to fill a gap for those who are often told they are “too young to have heart disease”—yet they do. Young Mended Hearts officially became a national program of The Mended Hearts, Inc. in August 2021.
