Coolness

Did You Know? Heart cells can actually be grown in the lab and they can beat just like a real heart. 🤯✨

Our team uses these beating cells to test therapies, study heart function, and design future treatments for CHD.

This means:
• Faster discoveries
• More accurate testing
• Hope for better outcomes
• A new path toward repairing damaged heart muscle

Every tiny beat in our lab gets us closer to helping real hearts outside the lab.

Update on Sara Hernandez:

The doctors were very pleased with the match and how everything went! We have so much gratitude to the donor and their family as well as Sara’s amazing team of doctors at Stanford Medicine.

We are so proud of Sara as she has been so strong, resilient and has kept a positive mindset through all of this!

And thank you to EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU who have shown so much support and lifted her UP! On to the next steps down this trail. Stay tuned!

Requesting prayers for my friend Sara Hernandez…
In her words: “Well, as luck would have it..the 11th hour struck. Just hours before rolling off for my pacemaker change surgery, I received an offer for the organs I've been waiting for over the last 295 days...and luckier still my sister Jessie Moore is here with me! Both H💗eart and liver are approved, but..
(FYI...Nothing is 100% happening, until I'm under the knife)... But please send forth HAPPY thoughts, prayers, vibes, good juju! Feel free to share. Thanks yall for all your amazing support!”

This was yesterday and as of this morning I haven’t heard an update so I presume she is in transplant.

It was an absolute honor and pleasure to meet with these folks at the SV One Patient Day conference I attended in Indianapolis. I hope someday to go tour their facility. What these innovators are doing for the heart/ CHD community is AMAZING! These folks are the common day equlivent of Dr. Michael DeBakey.

HeartWorks is the world's largest team dedicated to curing congenital heart defects. Together, we build hearts.

Just wrapped up an amazing day and 1/2 single ventricle Confrence in Indianapolis, IN. To get together with all these amazing congenital heart patients, meet with industry leaders and finally meet one of my transplant mentees and her husband fulfilled me with such great joy. I look forward to next years adventures and forward motion of all of our ideas and progress.
