The HeartBrothers Foundation, now 18 months in operation, is pleased to have CareDx on its growing list of corporate donors as it continues its mission of bringing resources together to help heart failure patients and their loved ones effectively deal with the challenges of living with heart failure. The funds from CareDx will be used to develop the Foundation’s peer-to-peer support initiatives, specifically the expansion of its Team HeartBrothers Program, a grassroots volunteer group of heart failure survivors who visit newly hospitalized patients and loved ones to provide support and assistance; its dedication to spreading organ donation awareness; and its first-hand education on living with heart failure and life post-organ transplant.

“We are pleased to receive continued support from this and other organizations,” said Patrick Sullivan, one of the Foundation’s co-founders and a heart transplant survivor. “Like us, CareDx is working to ease the lives of transplant patients and improve their overall post-transplant experience and health.”

“We are very proud of our support to the HeartBrothers Foundation since its inception,” says Peter Maag, President and CEO of CareDx. “The Team HeartBrothers Program is an important resource and expanding its reach will surely benefit more patients.”

Immediately After a Hospital Visit from The HeartBrothers

"Pat and Bob were living proof we would survive...that this was all part of our journey. After meeting the HeartBrothers, I remember Nick saying that when all this was over he would be a HeartBrother too. It made me smile because it showed me Nick had not given up hope despite how sick he was...he was thinking about our future."

- Michelle, Caregiver
