What is P.A.C.E. ? 

The "Progressive Adult Cardiac Experience" (P.A.C.E.) Program, is designed for young adults with heart disease, ages 18-25 who are looking to…

  • Create a support network with people who face similar challenges in their lives. 

  • Practice leadership skills that will help you make better life choices.

  • Build healthy lifestyle skills to support a healthy body and mind.

  • Enjoy fun and challenging new experiences! 

  • P.A.C.E. is a year-round community. See more below!

​

Do I qualify?

  • P.A.C.E. Applicants must be individuals with CHD between the ages of 18 and 25.

  • P.A.C.E. is an adult program. As such, participants are expected to be largely independent at P.A.C.E. programs. We expect you are able to;

    • Communicate your emotional and physical needs  

    • Manage your own medications

    • Complete your own application for the retreat
