The Heart Collective
Supporting women who are living with a heart condition.
The Heart Collective is an informal network of women with heart disease, created to provide a safe environment for women to connect, share experiences and learn from each other.
Women’s stories
Generously, a number of women have shared their personal stories of diagnosis and recovery so that other women will not feel so alone. These stories cover a range of heart conditions and represent women from all stages of life.
Watch their stories
Join the Heart Collective Facebook Group
