Mended Hearts of Boise - Get to know us....
Our mission is to inspire hope and improve the quality of life of heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support, education, and advocacy.
Maybe you were recently diagnosed with heart disease or had a heart event. You may have been prescribed a new medication, or just had heart surgery or other medical procedures. Now you might be feeling overwhelmed, scared, confused and alone. We want you to know that no matter what your diagnosis is or how you found us, Mended Hearts® is here to provide support, education and to advocate for you and with you. No one should have to walk this path alone! We are here in person in the Boise area to provide peer support and education as you learn to live with heart disease. We want to walk with you as you journey with a mended heart.
We view managing heart disease as a marathon, not a sprint. Living a healthy life isn’t something we can do in weeks, months or even years; it is something we must work toward throughout our lifetime. We can learn so much from one another and it's not such a lonely journey when you are not alone.

From our President.....
I’m overwhelmed with joy that MH 380 Bosie Idaho has received so many National Awards this year. I’m very proud of all of them, especially Odee Gordon going all the way from winner of the Rocky Mountain Region all the way to Regional winner, to the top winner of the whole United States, the second year we have had a “Triple Crown Winner” from MH380. Congratulations to everyone.

As everyone, who is born and living, has experienced challenges in our lives, I’m reminded of my childhood growing up on a farm. One stark realization that we faced was the fact that it was easy to understand that saying “Don’t cry over spilt milk”. If you spilled some on the ground it seeped right into the soil to never be retrieved.
And so it is with different kinds of Heart Disease. Often there is no cure and we just have to live with it the rest of our lives. Yes, we do live in a modern world with many extraordinary doctors and new medications coming to the forefront on a regular basis, but some things just can’t be fixed and we just have to face reality and move forward the best we can and try to help others just like all the Members of Mended Hearts do every day.
So, if you are not a member of Mended Hearts please sign up NOW. God Bless America. KAVA WUNI, UTE Indian name for the Mountains Rise up.
