Team Uncle Joe

Our mission is to equip Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) patients and their families with the resources and information needed to thrive while creating a world where all CHD patients are informed and empowered to be their own healthcare advocate. Enabling individuals with CHD & their families to understand, navigate, and manage their condition by providing programs, support, and education to empower their effective participation, confident decision making, and self-direction of their care. Team Uncle Joe believes that thriving with CHD requires each patient to understand their unique condition and the treatment options available to navigate their healthcare. We deliver educational materials, technological resources, and advocacy support to all CHD patients and families free of charge in most cases. If the client requires services that incur increased expenses, we will inform them of such and pass those costs on to them without markup if we cannot bear the increased cost burden.

Team Uncle Joe is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) by providing accessible, patient-centered education, resources, and support that promote informed healthcare decision-making and self-advocacy. We equip CHD patients and their families with the tools they need to understand, navigate, and manage their condition throughout the lifespan. Through free or low-cost programs, including digital resources, peer-informed educational content, and healthcare navigation support, we empower patients to become confident participants in their care. Team Uncle Joe also works to reduce disparities in access to CHD information by tailoring resources to meet the needs of underrepresented communities, including individuals with low health literacy or those facing systemic barriers to care. Services are provided free whenever feasible. When costs exceed our capacity, we disclose them and charge only the actual expense incurred.
