 SisterMatch App Launches
WomenHeart launched a new mobile app this month which helps women with heart disease connect one-on-one with WomenHeart Champions for peer support, encouragement and advice. The SisterMatch app will expand this program’s reach and allows women to match with a BigSister who shares a similar profile, while also providing information about local support groups and other resources. The app is available in the Apple and Google Play stores for download to your smart phone or tablet.
