ACHD Support Group meets in the evening of the last Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm -7:30 pm and will focus on Congenital Heart Disease. Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, April 29th. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic all meetings are now conducted via ZOOM. As we adapt to the necessary changes made in the time of the Coronavirus, we would like to provide additonal support on the second Thursday of each month to focus on COVID for our CHD patients and coping with these challenges. Please join us on Thursday, May 13th at 6:00PM to share your concerns, frustrations, and solutions. As we continue to shelter at home and observe social distancing guidelines, this group will be offered through Zoom or telephone conferencing. Please email Yvonne Jose at YJose@mednet.ucla.edu to RSVP and receive the Zoom link to join our meetings.
