If you are a patient living with heart failure or a non-professional caregiver for a patient living with heart failure, you can join the Heart Failure Society of America through the complimentary Patient/Caregiver membership. As a member, you will receive access to research, information, education, and networking so you can be as informed as possible with the latest information. There are also opportunities to volunteer, build awareness, and act as an advocate for the heart failure patient and caregiver community.
Please note that providers are NOT eligible to sign up as Patient/Caregiver members.
