Our primary objective at the HCMA is to provide support, advocacy and education to patients, their family members, the medical community, and the general public. We offer newsletters, meetings and symposiums, doctor referrals, new/improved treatment data, and, most of all, peer support to our members.
Due to increasing time limitations and funding constraints we have instituted several new procedures to ensure that each person who calls in receives the same attention to their individual situation that we have been providing for the past 17 years. To this end, we now offer two options when calling in to seek information.
1. A 15-minute complimentary phone call with Lisa Salberg, our Founder and CEO, to go over the basics of your HCM diagnosis and the availability of Centers of Excellence/Programs.
2. A paid membership to the HCMA will provide the opportunity to have a more comprehensive initial conversation with Lisa Salberg, as well as subsequent calls throughout the year, which may include discussions on treatment options available, genetics, information about screening other family members, preparation for upcoming procedures, and any other issues that may arise. In a recent HCMA survey, 100% of the participants agreed that the value of these conversations is comparable to an average insurance co-pay.
We ask that you give what you can and encourage a monthly recurrent donation, which can be done online. A great way to give and get is to ensure your membership is up to date!
