This is really great news…<\/p>\n

More than twenty Orange County, California organizations and hospitals will share in nearly $245,000 in grants this year from The Edwards Lifesciences Fund.<\/p>\n

The Edwards Lifesciences Fund, the charitable arm of Irvine heart valve maker Edwards Lifesciences Corp., announced today that it would donate more than $2.5 million to 60 charitable organizations worldwide as part of its third annual grant cycle. That is more than twice the amount it gave away last year.<\/p>\n

The grants, ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, are designed to help strengthen local communities and to help fight cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n

Local grants ranged from $5,000 to Discovery Arts in Tustin, California to strengthen the emotional health of Orange County children with life-threatening and critical illnesses to $50,000 for the Hoag Hospital Foundation in Newport Beach, California to provide free heart valve screening.<\/p>\n

So you know, I’m not sure if any other heart valve manufacturer (Medtronic, St. Jude Medical, On-X)<\/a> has a grant program similar to Edwards’ donation fund.<\/p>\n

That said, this is great news.<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin!
