Mended Hearts, Inc., Chapter 127
Cookeville, Tennessee 38501
 
 
Regular Monthly Meetings
Chapter 127 meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in Education Room #2 of the Cookeville Regional Medical Center at 142 W. 5th Street where members and heart patients and families support one another.

Meetings are very informal (no suits and ties are necessary in this crowd) and usually begin with a short period of personal fellowship and sharing with refreshments.  This is followed by a scheduled program or speaker.  Indicative of the close relationship Chapter 127 has with the local medical community, various CRMC and other health care professionals will often provide valuable information on new procedures, medicines, and technologies.  A short business meeting normally follows which updates everyone on chapter activities, upcoming events, and volunteer opportunities.

Meetings are not just open to former heart patients, but are open to everyone, including spouses and friends who perhaps have already been supportive during the most critical times and to others who simply wish to become personally involved in the mission of Mended Hearts.

We have fun, we share, we smile, we laugh, we listen, we show compassion, we encourage . . . because, individually and as a group, we no longer take life for granted.
 
Hungry? Diet restrictions? Don't worry, be happy!
Free heart-healthy refreshments prepared and brought by members are served at all chapter meetings.
