LVADStrong: New Website Launch

LVADStrong is proud to announce the launch of our completely redesigned website, built to better serve patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals navigating life with an LVAD. With a modern look, easier navigation, and an array of new features, the new LVADStrong.org is more than just a facelift. It is a major step forward in our mission to support, educate, and empower the LVAD community.

What’s New

• Newsletter Signup: Stay connected with the latest updates, stories, and resources. Our email newsletter makes it easy to keep up without checking the site every day.
• Easy and Transparent Donations: Supporters can now donate directly through the site with confidence. We have included clear breakdowns showing exactly how contributions are used to further our outreach, education, and patient support programs.
• News and Stories: A fresh section highlights uplifting stories from patients and caregivers across the country. These stories offer hope, solidarity, and perspective. In addition, our general blog shares helpful articles, practical tips, and current information to support day-to-day life with an LVAD.
• Expanded FAQ Pages: We have separated FAQs into three categories: patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Each section addresses specific questions based on lived experiences and expert input.
• Upcoming Events Calendar: From health fairs to community outreach booths, our events page keeps you informed on where we will be and how you can get involved.

Take Action, Get Involved

The new website also makes it easier than ever to take part in the work we do.

• Connect With a Mentor: Patients and caregivers can request to be matched with someone who understands what they are going through. These peer relationships can make a huge difference during recovery and daily life.
• Request a Visit: Organizations, schools, clinics, and community leaders can now request an LVADStrong presence at events or speaking opportunities. We provide education, training, and support for audiences of all kinds.
• Volunteer Your Time: We rely on volunteers to help with outreach, events, and more. The new volunteer form lets you share how you want to contribute and what time or skills you have to offer.
• Share Your Story: Your experience matters. If you or someone you love has an LVAD and wants to share your journey, you can submit your story through the site. We will work with you to share it with the community in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful.

A One-Stop Hub for LVAD Resources

The new Resources section pulls together the most useful tools and links for the LVAD community. It includes:

• An LVAD guide
• Support for caregivers of all kinds
• Mental health and financial resources
• A hospital locator to find LVAD-friendly facilities
• Specific support for women living with an LVAD
• A media library for patient education and awareness
• A detailed guide on traveling with an LVAD, including TSA and airport tips
• Links to gear, accessories, and must-have products
• A growing support directory of trusted organizations and tools

This section will continue to grow as we add more partner organizations, tip sheets, and practical support links.

A Resource for Healthcare Providers

The new LVADStrong site is not just built for patients and caregivers. It also serves as a valuable tool for healthcare professionals looking to support their patients beyond the hospital. Providers can direct patients to educational resources, answer common post-op questions using the detailed FAQ section, and recommend community events or mentorship connections for ongoing support.

From clinical teams to social workers, anyone involved in LVAD care now has a trusted place to send their patients. It bridges the gap between clinical care and daily life with an LVAD—because supporting long-term recovery goes far beyond discharge day.

Built for You

This launch is more than just a new coat of paint. It is about delivering what this community needs in a way that is clear, supportive, and honest. Whether you are looking for answers, inspiration, or ways to get involved, this website was built with you in mind.

We hope you will explore the new site, sign up for our newsletter, and consider sharing your story or getting involved. Together, we are building a stronger future for everyone living with an LVAD.
