Heart Transplant Support Group
The Heart Transplant Support Group is a free-of-charge educational and supportive space for individuals who have received a heart transplant (at least one year ago). We will focus on a wide range of topics, including coping with difficult emotions, health behavior change, and self-care strategies.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to Dr. Sugandha Gupta-Louis (sugandha.guptalouis@yu.edu) or Dr. Ammar Ahmad (aahmad@montefiore.org).
This page is dedicated to providing information about and resources from the support group meetings.
