@meprahs4554 Welcome to Connect! You just celebrated your 12th anniversary of your septal myectomy at Mayo in Rochester! What an impressive life has followed that event: contributing in many ways to make the public more aware of HCM (and heart disease in general). Are you familiar with the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association and perhaps know Lisa, who has also participated in various advice-giving on Capitol Hill? For others who may wish to become familiar with the WomenHeart organization, here is a link to find out more. https://www.womenheart.org/ Helping and supporting others is a goal of Connect as it is with WomenHeart. How did you find out about that organization and what are the most rewarding outcomes of your efforts?
