Heart of a Survivor
Heart issues can affect anyone, at any age. Our Heart of a Survivor campaign brings attention to that important message through the lens of three patient ambassadors who experienced life-changing health events. We hope that people will listen and read their stories and take a moment to think about their own health.
Don’t let a heart or vascular event surprise you. Take it from Patton, Jessica and Jeff – know your history, learn the signs and symptoms, and take action. Learn more about each of their stories below.
