In 2005, a group of physicians and surgeons at Hotel-Dieu de France Hospital in Beirut established the Heartbeat Association under a partnership with the international association La Chaîne de l’Espoir (The Chain of Hope).
Today, over 100 people from all walks of life are involved in our work, from medical staff, to performing artists and volunteers.
