The heartmate™ LVAD Community

More than 25,000 people have received the HeartMate IITM LVAD. Many of them have celebrated five, and some even 10 or more ReBirthdays. A HeartMate LVAD recipient’s ReBirthday is the anniversary of their implant. HeartMate LVAD recipients form a special community that grows daily as the awareness of LVAD therapy also grows.

The HeartMateTM LVAD Ambassador Program was created as a way to connect heart failure patients with our HeartMate LVAD Community. Ambassadors volunteer their time to share their personal stories and demonstrate the difference a HeartMate LVAD has made in their lives.

Hearing about life with an LVAD from someone who is living with one can be very impactful. Our HeartMate LVAD Ambassadors and their caregivers understand that being an Ambassador is more than a title – it’s a role that can have a positive effect on other patients and the broader healthcare community.
