VIRTUAL 5.8.25 EVENT - ICD Support Group Session

Welcome to our SPRING 2025 ICD support group session. This event is offered exclusively to patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or for those patients who are considering an ICD. The purpose of this event is to gather patients with similar cardiac illnesses to share stories, advice and struggles involved with living with an ICD.

Our opening session will focus on the top 10 most commonly asked questions related to an ICD. These will be answered in a Q&A format with open discussion to follow.

Following our opening session, patients will be able to engage in small group sessions which will allow patients to meet other patients and members of the cardiology and psychiatric care team to discuss specific topics of interest. This will be offered in person and virtually via Zoom breakout group function.
