Hello and welcome to the inaugural blog post of Twice the Heart Foundation! We’re thrilled to launch this platform and share our mission to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals living with chronic heart disease.

 

Our Story

Twice the Heart Foundation was born from a personal journey through the challenges of the chronic heart disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Our founder, Jillian Thorne, experienced the isolation and struggle that come with managing this condition. From this experience, we developed a vision to create a support system that addresses not only the physical aspects of heart disease but also emphasizes the critical role of mental and emotional well-being.

 

Our Mission

Our mission at Twice the Heart Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for those battling chronic heart disease by offering comprehensive support that integrates physical, emotional, and mental health. We provide educational resources, emotional support, and financial assistance, with a special focus on mental health as a key component of healing.

 

Why Mental Health Matters

Research consistently shows that mental health significantly impacts heart disease outcomes. Patients who actively manage stress and emotional health are more likely to experience improved treatment adherence, better quality of life, and reduced risk of complications. Addressing mental well-being is not just complementary but essential for holistic heart disease management.

 

What We Will Offer::

  • Educational Programs: Our workshops and webinars will provide vital information on managing heart disease, including stress management techniques, lifestyle modifications, and strategies for enhancing mental health.

  • Emotional Support: We will offer support groups and one-on-one counseling to help individuals cope with the emotional challenges of heart disease. Connecting with others who understand your journey can be incredibly healing.

  • Financial Assistance: We recognize the financial strain that heart disease can impose. Our foundation will provide financial aid to help cover medical expenses, medications, and other essential needs.

  • Patient and Family Retreats: We will host retreats designed to provide a healing environment for patients and their families. These retreats offer relaxation, support, and a chance to connect with others facing similar challenges.

  • Yoga and Meditation Events: Participate in our yoga and meditation sessions, tailored to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

  • Dance Parties: Enjoy our lively dance parties, which offer a fun way to exercise, lift spirits, and build community.

  • Interactive Workshops: Engage in our educational and interactive workshops designed for the whole family. These workshops provide valuable information and hands-on activities to support heart health and well-being.

  • Hospital Care Kits: We will provide curated hospital care kits specifically designed for heart disease patients. These kits include essential items to ensure comfort and ease during hospital stays, addressing both practical needs and emotional well-being.
