What to expect

  • Connect with a patient or caregiver who has firsthand experience with the challenges of the LVAD journey.
  • Ask questions, share concerns, or simply talk with someone who understands what you're going through.
  • Hear about another person's experiences, lessons learned, and ways they navigated life with an LVAD.
  • Mentors share personal experiences and encouragement. Medical questions should always be discussed with your VAD team or healthcare provider.
