Receiving a heart failure diagnosis is both physically and emotionally taxing. Finding out that what you knew before your diagnosis is now in the past, to now focusing on your new normal- it can be a lot. It’s life-changing.

Support can help you deal with chronic pain, help ease the stress of figuring out doctor appointments, and can help you cope with your new reality. We want to know how we can better support you on your journey with heart failure. Tell us below about your heart failure diagnosis.
