with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

awareness, and support of professional education and research. Most of
our active members are also members of the St. Luke's Episcopal

Heart Exchange activities are funded by the proceeds of the Annual Heart
Exchange Golf Classic, donations, and memorial gifts. Historically 98.5
percent of our funds are used directly on support programs, including
temporary housing, prescription medications, and financial aid for needy
patients and families identified by the Social Services department at
St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.
Elected boards of directors comprising a
president, vice president/ secretary, vice-president/ treasurer, and 20+
general board members, governs the corporation and receive no
compensation.
Business meetings are held at
5 PM in the Cooley Auditorium at the Denton Cooley Texas Heart Institute
Building, on the second Saturday of each month. Our meetings, as well as
the socials that follow, are open to all. |

The Heart Exchange exists for the benefit of transplant patients. Its members are transplant recipients, assist device recipients, those in need of transplants or devices, their families and friends and the nurses who work with them. Its members are also volunteers.
We’ve been where you are. We know what its like to be told, “You need a transplant.” We know what its like to wait and we know what its like when the wait is over.
The life ahead of you can be wonderful. And we would like to share our perspective with you.
Just contact us: see our “contact us” page or If you are a patient at St. Luke’s just tell your nurse that you’d like us to visit and we will be there. |
