Mended Hearts is a national non-profit organization made up of and serving people with heart disease and their loved ones. Mended Hearts welcomes anyone who is interested in learning to help those with heart disease. Supported by a national office, 280 local chapters actively serve across the United States and Canada. The network is made up of heart patients, family members, caregivers and health care professionals who provide information and support to recovering patients and their families during hospital visits, by telephone, through group meetings and via the internet.

Mended Hearts Chapter #339 based out of Greater Portland, ME, is made up of the kind of people it serves-heart patients, their family members and caregivers. Our volunteers provide support and inspire hope for heart disease patients and their families.

Each month, Chapter #339's specially trained members visit patients at the Maine Medical Center hospital to inspire hope in patients with heart disease. If you are interested in participating in our visiting program, please click on the Visiting Questionaire form link, complete it, and email back to our Volunteer Coordinator Betsi Dupont jadupont@myfairpoint.net.
