About LVADStrong

Our Mission:

^{LVADStrong is a nonprofit organization based in Boston, MA, dedicated to improving the lives of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) patients and their communities. Our mission is to provide patient outreach and support, educate communities, host LVAD patient events, and offer hospital and clinic staff support and resources. By fostering understanding and building connections, LVADStrong aims to empower patients, enhance healthcare support, and raise awareness about LVADs.
LVADStrong operates under the premise that LVAD patients who receive proper mental health support have better outcomes.}

^{Studies show that addressing the psychological and emotional challenges of living with an LVAD can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and increase the likelihood of adherence to medical recommendations. This, in turn, contributes to reduced complications, fewer hospital readmissions, and improved survival rates.
Better patient outcomes not only enhance individual lives but also lead to increased capacity within hospitals and clinics, allowing more patients to access life-saving LVAD treatments. By reducing the strain on healthcare systems, LVADStrong’s advocacy efforts contribute to both saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. This dual impact forms a cornerstone of our mission to support LVAD patients and their families.}

The LVADStrong Philosophy:

_{LVADStrong draws on three pillars: relentless drive, purposeful resilience, and selfless teamwork. The first embraces an unyielding mindset that pushes through physical and mental barriers, proving that limits are meant to be broken. The second finds meaning in adversity, transforming struggles into opportunities for growth and using hardship as a beacon to guide others. The third embodies the quiet strength of those who work tirelessly in the background, putting the needs of the team above their own and protecting what matters most. Together, these principles form a philosophy of courage, compassion, and determination, inspiring the LVAD community to thrive.}
