Dear Patients and Friends,
Over the past 19 years, the HeartValveSurgery.com community has grown in unexpected and incredible ways. What began in 2006 as a simple three-page website has expanded into more than 20,000 pages of educational resources and AI-powered tools that now support over 585,000 people across our social media platform.
Today marks an exciting milestone. Thanks to the generosity and dedication of this remarkable community, we are launching the HeartValveSurgery.com Charitable Giving Initiative — a new philanthropy focused on providing cardiac care to children living with heart valve disease. You can learn more about this new heart valve charity by clicking here.
To everyone who has supported us — and to all the children whose lives will be touched in the years ahead — thank you. Your compassion truly saves lives, and we are grateful to know you and work alongside you.
