Adjusting to life after a heart attack, cardiac surgery or other cardiac
event is one of life’s most difficult challenges. The Karen Yontz Young Women’s
Heart Support Group provides women under the age of 65 years an opportunity to
meet other young women who have had recent cardiac surgery or been diagnosed
with heart disease. You’ll find understanding and discussion about feelings,
fears, coping skills and other topics such as stress management, exercise,
nutrition, family and work concerns and more.
