The Hearty
Gnomes

SMALL STATURE. BIG HEARTS.

A little hope.
A little laughter.
A whole lot
of heart.

Life after a heart event can feel different.
You don’t have to find your way alone.

We’re The Hearty Gnomes. We share encouragement, heart-health awareness, and everyday moments of joy for survivors, families, and caregivers.

For the hard days. For the hopeful days. For you.

good ahead.

A little encouragement goes a long way.Keep It Pumping.One day. One step. One beat at a time.

WHY WE STARTED

A place to feel
a little less alone.

A heart event affects more than a heart. It can change the rhythm of everyday life—for the person recovering and the people who love them.

The Hearty Gnomes grew out of lived experience with a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest—and the physical, mental, and emotional recovery that followed.

That experience is at the heart of why we’re here: to offer encouragement, connection, and a little lightheartedness to people finding their way forward. Survivors, families, and caregivers all have a place here.

Some days, we talk about awareness. Some days, we share a reminder to take things at your own pace. And sometimes, a good laugh is exactly what the day needs.

There’s a place for you here
