Intermountain Healing Hearts

Women's Heart 2 Heart and Guys Night Out Events

Heart to Heart is a special IHH event where Adults can come together to laugh, cry, meet new people, and renew friendships forged through difficult times. It is geared towards those adults impacted by CHD and childhood onset heart disease including parents, angel parents, primary caretakers, adult CHD members and spouses.

In the past we have had Heart 2 Heart: A Gathering of Women Affected by CHD for IHH women members as well as A Guy's Night Out: A Guy's Night for Men Affected by CHD for IHH men members. 2019 was the first year we have done Heart 2 Heart as a men and women combined event. At the request of IHH members, 2022 saw the return of separate events for the adult women and men.
