A Message From Our Board Chair
As Chairman of Harboring Hearts since 2009, I have seen firsthand the impact of Michelle and Yuki's vision, which has transformed the lives of hundreds of families faced with life-altering cardiac and transplant surgeries. While our programs and events have evolved, our commitment to our patient community remains the same.
To our patients and families, your journeys to recovery and full health are in our minds and hearts every step of the way. We, as an organization, are devoted to expanding our support so that we can meet the needs faced at the time of surgery and after.
To our hospital partners and staff, the work we do could not be possible without your collaboration and continued commitment to every patient you support.
To our donors and funders, who have let us share in their generosity, and on behalf of our dedicated and talented board, I offer my sincere gratitude.
Together, we’ll continue to give hope to hearts everywhere!
