Volunteer Programs
Caring Hearts®
In the Caring Hearts® program, people who are a year past their own cardiac event volunteer to visit a patient before and after a procedure, offering empathy and support. Caring Hearts® volunteers also support the cardiac intensive care and waiting room staffs. Caring Hearts® volunteers are cardiac patients or family members of cardiac patients.
If you have had a heart attack, angioplasty, stent, atherectomy, ICD, bypass or valve surgery and would like to speak to a Caring Hearts® volunteer who has had a similar procedure, please call 1-800-4BAYLOR. Getting ready to have a heart procedure and want to talk to someone who has been through it? We can match you with a Caring Hearts® volunteer who will call you back either at home or in the hospital.
Call 1-800-4BAYLOR (1-800-422-9567) to speak to a Caring Hearts® volunteer.
Become a Caring Hearts® volunteer.
Wire For Life® Volunteers
Baylor has teamed up with past implantable cardio defibrillator (ICD) recipients to provide future ICD recipients with support, comfort and answers to their questions. Volunteers meet with the future recipients and their families before and after the ICD procedure.
