Jersey Heart Support Group

The Jersey Heart Support Group (JHSG) was formed in 2011 by people living with heart conditions. We are affiliated with the British Heart Foundation and registered with the Jersey Financial Services Commission as a (Non-Profit Organisation) and belong to the Association of Jersey Charities.

The group has a common aim to carry on where hospital rehabilitation leaves off and continue to battle against cardiac conditions. Many people participating in rehabilitation experience the benefits of being involved in a group and it is this element the JHSG wishes to extend and develop.

We fully appreciate and understand how daunting it can feel to be  diagnosed with a heart condition. We are here to provide support and comfort, to answer any questions no matter how trivial they may seem, while providing information to help you move forward and to get the most out of life.

The committee members currently meet once a month and new members and ideas are always welcome. 

As a support group we have set ourselves five main aims:

1. To provide continuity to people completing the Stage 3 Cardiac Rehabilitation course
2. To provide support for the present and new members & their partners
3. To provide members with current thoughts and literature on aftercare for heart patients
4. To maintain close contact with health officials
5. To make contact with other local voluntary groups

In addition, we are working towards improving cardiac care for the people of Jersey
