Membership supports the HCMA and ensures that we are here for you, your family, and the next person that learns that they too have HCM and are simply not sure where to turn.
The HCMA supports an internal staff to help us serve our membership with proper governance, administrative support, as well as knowledgeable patient advocacy support. Our members are the reason we exist, and we do everything possible to support them through diagnosis, management issues, appeals, transplant, family screenings, school/work planning, and, sadly, the grieving process.
It is only through the support of those we work for that the HCMA has been able to serve the HCM community for 25 years. To ensure we are here when you and your HCM friends and family need information, support, or advocacy, we encourage you to support the HCMA by becoming an annual member or making an annual donation.

Membership Scholarship
The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association believes that all patients with HCM should have access to the support, advocacy, and education we provide. If you cannot afford the full cost of an HCMA membership you can apply for financial assistance to cover all or part of your membership fee. Generous donations from individuals and businesses provide scholarship assistance to make that possible. Membership scholarships are provided within the limits of available funding.
Eligibility Requirements
Since a limited amount of funds are available, priority will be given to those participants with the greatest need. The program is designed to aid those in a “crisis” or “high risk” situation. Examples of situations include (but are not limited to) unemployment, lack of medical insurance, limited income, multiple family members diagnosed.
How to Apply
Applicants must complete the application in full. Scholarships will be awarded as resources are available, with priority given based on scoring. Please email your completed application for processing to support@4hcm.org.
