The LVAD, heart or lung transplant journey can feel a lot, and you don’t have to go through it alone
❤️LVAD Cafe❤️
Our in person support group meets once a month in person on a Thursday (see dates below) 10:30am - 1pm in the transplant unit seminar room
Each meeting focuses on a different theme and provides an opportunity to share experiences, ask questions and talk openly about life with an LVAD. You’ll be able to connect with others who understand the journey, share practical advice and offer support and reassurance to one another.
