Overview
Mission
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.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, we partnered with UCSF, Dr. Anushree (Anu) Agarwal, and Dr. Huie Lin to submit a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funding application to continue and expand the work of the ACHD Roundtable-a multi-stakeholder collaborative composed of patients, clinicians, and researchers from across Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Initially launched with support from Houston Methodist, the ACHD Roundtable has evolved into a sustained initiative to develop patient-prioritized research questions in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Our role encompasses patient recruitment, stakeholder engagement, and the development of digital infrastructure, including website creation and content development. This ongoing work strengthens the foundation for meaningful patient involvement in research and promotes equitable representation in ACHD studies throughout the South-Central U.S.
