VIRTUAL 2.13.25 EVENT - ICD Support Group Session

Welcome patients! The BWH Electrophysiology team is excited to offer an opportunity to join our 2025 WINTER 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.

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 (see Zoom link below) breakout group function. Each participant can choose two breakout sessions for the evening.
