Support Groups
Support groups are an important component of the Heart and Vascular program at Sharp. These groups are designed for patients and family members, and are run by a social worker or registered nurse. At each support group, an expert discusses topics identified by the group. Additionally, there is time at the end of each meeting for questions and informal networking.
