Harboring Hearts Summer Kickoff
Summer ‘25 Community Event!
On one of the hottest days of 2025, our hearts were full indoors! Our Summer Kickoff Community Event brought cardiac surgery and transplant families together for an afternoon of connection, face painting, crafts, and shared support—part of our ongoing effort to reach families impacted by cardiac surgery and organ transplant across nine New York-based hospitals.
Volunteers, parents, children, patients, and caregivers attended our event, took part in connecting with one another and had a blast in the process! Our patient community and their families often face uncertainty and immense challenges throughout their medical journeys. At Harboring Hearts, we are committed to standing by them every step of the way and make it a priority to ensure they feel supported.
Our Summer Kickoff event is one of the many emotional support programs we offer to help families navigate these difficult times with a sense of connection and care. Our emotional support programming for cardiac surgery and organ transplant patients and their loved ones is offered throughout the year, ensuring no family faces surgery –– and post operative recovery –– alone.
