Cardiac Patient Support Group Survey

Survey Purpose:
We’re putting together a support group for people living with heart events, and we want it to really work for you. This survey is designed to gather essential information from cardiac patients to help shape a support group tailored to your needs. We aim to understand your preferences regarding meeting frequency, ideal time of day, and session length, as well as your current emotional and mental well-being. Your input will help us create a supportive, accessible, and meaningful space that feels comfortable, helpful, and worth your time.
