The Dottie Fuqua Women’s Heart Support Network

Photo of women relaxingEstablished by a generous gift from the J.B. Fuqua Foundation, the Dottie Fuqua Women’s Heart Support Network provides female heart disease survivors with an ongoing, personal way to connect to others with similar experiences. In addition, this innovative program will also educate women and connect them with resources in the community to meet their needs as they learn to live with – and beyond – heart disease.

In addition to peer-to-peer sharing, the Dottie Fuqua Women’s Heart Support Network offers access to subject matter experts who can provide information and education on such topics as Physical Well-Being, Mental Well-Being and Nutrition.
