WomenHeart is a support group for women to help them learn about heart disease, including how to prevent or how to manage and live more fully once diagnosed. This group is part of the only national advocacy group for women living with or at risk of heart disease.

The group meets 10 times a year on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. It does not meet in August or December. It is a hybrid meeting format and guests may attend via Zoom or in-person at the Coho Conference Room in the Duncan Law Building, 2nd Floor, 2121 Marine Dr., Astoria, OR 97103.
