Empowering DCM Patients and Families – Your Donation Makes a Difference
The DCM Foundation is dedicated to supporting those living with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) – a disease that weakens and enlarges the heart’s main pumping chamber.
Financial contributions are vital to our mission. By supporting us, you help:
- Empower patients and families with knowledge about DCM.
- Connect them with essential support networks for guidance and community.
- Advocate for better patient care and research to improve lives.
Knowing the struggles of DCM patients, we offer comprehensive support through these 3 pillars:
- Information and Education:

- Our DCM-Specific Facebook Groups are dedicated to creating a supportive community for all DCM patients and their family members.
- Healthy Together WellnessProgram: This online group wellness support program is specially designed for DCM patients and families.
- Understanding the Need for Genetic Testing:
- We launched the Genetic Cardiomyopathy Awareness Consortium and a new website (https://geneticcardiomyopathy.org/) to increase awareness and education about the link between genetics and cardiomyopathy.
- This campaign then went global, available in 10 languages, to educate both patients and healthcare professionals about genetic testing for cardiomyopathy.
- We are working to help increase easy and affordable access to genetic testing for cardiomyopathy patients and family members.
