HCMA and the Lori Fund

Navigation to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy centres of excellence, plus a fund that covers travel costs to reach one.

Transportation, lodging, or foodHeart and circulationCondition-specific help

Best for

People with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who need specialist care that is not available locally.

Why Kave includes this

HCM is common enough to matter and rare enough that most cardiologists see few cases, so getting to a specialist centre changes management substantially. The travel fund addresses the barrier that actually stops people: the specialist is free at the point of referral, and the flight is not.

Navigation and support are free. The Lori Fund provides travel assistance to qualifying patients.
Insurance requirement
None for navigation. Specialist care is billed normally.
Who qualifies
For patients with a confirmed or suspected HCM diagnosis. Travel assistance has its own financial criteria.
Where it is available

How you use it

Limitations Kave wants you to know about

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy specifically — not general heart disease.
  • Travel funds are limited and awarded case by case.
  • Covers travel, not the medical care itself.

Geographic reach is deliberately worth only five points, so a strong local resource is not pushed out by a weak national one. Read the methodology.
