The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association, a 501(3)c nonprofit founded 1996, as the pre-eminent organization improving the lives of those with thick heart muscle disorders, preventing untimely deaths, and advancing global understanding. HCM affects 1 in 250 people. In someone with HCM, the walls of the heart become thicker than they should be. This excessive thickening can cause the heart to become stiffer and leaves less room for blood to fill the heart. Signs of HCM can be as common as feeling tired or being short of breath and is often misdiagnosed.
The HCMA is leading the All Hearts Collaborative, a pilot program in Newark, NJ, an initiative involving churches, schools, and community centers by providing tools to assist in preparing families to discuss their heart health history with their physician. We are working to increase access to quality healthcare in these communities by educating community healthcare teams and providing referral patterns and travel support for patients who require specialized cardiac care. We are growing the program over the next few years to include Atlanta, Ga, Baltimore, MD, San Diego, CA and Seattle, WA.
We’re reaching out to we hope that together we can reduce cardiac healthcare disparities for all communities.
