Sponsor Program

Since 2006, HeartValveSurgery.com has educated over 10 million patients and caregivers in over 50 countries around the world. HeartValveSurgery.com was founded by Adam Pick, a heart valve patient, to educate and to empower patients from diagnosis through recovery.  For his patient advocacy efforts, Adam has been featured by the American Heart Association, Medical News Today and the Chicago Tribune. 

With this mission, HeartValveSurgery.com has evolved to address the needs of its patient community with new services and educational information about heart valve disease and treatment options. Currently, Adam and HeartValveSurgery.com is followed by over 300,000 people across social media channels including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. You can see our Facebook page here.  

To raise and expand awareness to heart valve disease, HeartValveSurgery.com developed a sponsorship program in 2009.  Our sponsors support HeartValveSurgery.com with editorial contributions to educational materials.  These materials include articles, blogs, videos, eBooks and infographics that comply with our editorial guidelines.  In addition, our sponsors provide HeartValveSurgery.com with the financial support needed to operate this website, develop and syndicate meaningful content, and manage its infrastructure (servers, programming, HIPAA compliance, HONcode certification, security, legal, compliance, etc.).

We are thrilled to report that HeartValveSurgery.com is sponsored by over 30 cardiac centers that specialize in heart valve therapy.  Some of our wonderful sponsors include:

• Cleveland Clinic
• Columbia University Medical Center
• Northwestern Medicine
• Michigan Medicine
• Mount Sinai Hospital
• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
• The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano
• UCLA Health System
• USC Medical Center
• WVU Heart & Vascular Institute

To further support our efforts to increase awareness to heart valve disease, HeartValveSurgery.com has performed services for medical companies (Edwards Lifesciences, LivaNova / Sorin, Cryolife / On-X, AtriCure, Zimmer Biomet, BioStable Science & Engineering), philanthropic organizations (The Mitral Foundation), research groups (The Alliance for Aging) and patient advocacy teams (Patient Advocate Foundation).  HeartValveSurgery.com has received an educational grant from Abbott Vascular. 

Thanks to the support of our sponsors and partners, HeartValveSurgery.com now offers patients and caregivers a trusted, end-to-end platform for learning about heart valve surgery.  Our platform was developed to help patients from the moment they are diagnosed to the moment they feel fully recovered from heart surgery.  This unique patient-centric platform includes:

• Surgeon Finder
• Heart Hospitals Directory
• Learning Center
• Educational Videos 
• Adam's Heart Valve Blog
• Patient Community
• Free Downloadable eBooks
• Webinars
• Facebook Live Sessions
• Infographics

To help patients and caregivers find great medical care, we developed interactive, sponsored services that connect patients with surgeons and cardiac centers that specialize in heart valve treatment. Two of these real-time services include our Surgeon Finder and our Heart Hospital Directory services.  In addition, we developed other sponsored services including video production and syndication services, educational content services and more.
