Hearts of Kourage
MONTHLY GIVING
Did you know that all participants in the Kourage Health program receive personalized medical exercise and related care at no charge? Kourage Health receives no financing from private insurance, Medicare, or other standard health-related funding entities. Therefore, caring donors like you are the heart of our organization!
When you give monthly to Hearts of Kourage at the amount of your choice, you will be making a difference in our patients’ lives. Together we bring hope and healing to those facing serious illnesses, and monthly giving is the safest, simplest, and most effective way to support Kourage Health.
Giving monthly matters because it fits into your budget, plans for the future, creates a community, gives Kourage Health continued support, and brings you behind the scenes. As a Heart of Kourage member, you join a dedicated group of supporters who understand the importance of making medical exercise therapy available for all patients facing a serious medical illness.
The name Hearts of Kourage reflects on two important aspects of the Kourage Health program. The ‘heart’ remembers our founder, medical oncologist Dr. Gary Kimmel, who had the vision to see a tremendous new dimension in cancer care and the heart to make that vision a reality. The ‘Kourage’ recognizes the incredible value of courage to combat fear and foster courage. We believe that courage is contagious, and we are intentional about our desire to promote a culture of courage throughout our organization and programs.
