Heart Support Group
A free Heart Support Group provides people living with any type of cardiovascular disease, heart failure and any other heart problems with education and an opportunity to interact with a community of people who face similar challenges. Family members and friends are welcome to attend.
Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month from 2- 4 pm at Asheville Cardiology Associates, 5 Vanderbilt Park Drive, Asheville, NC 28803.
The meeting will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather. If AB-Tech cancels classes due to weather the support group will not meet. Tune in to your local TV or Radio stations for these announcements.
A monthly newsletter will be posted on the website to inform you of the speaker as well as heart healthy articles for your reading pleasure.
