Unlock the future of heart care and understand how a revolutionary cooperative platform is reshaping the landscape of congenital heart disease treatment. Join us as we explore the groundbreaking innovations at HeartWorks, a transformative program at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Tim Nelson. With heartfelt insights from Erin Borkowski, a dedicated heart mom, and Rachael Gott, an inspiring adult living with congenital heart disease, we delve into the challenges and advancements that are redefining patient care and clinical trial processes.

Meet the pioneers behind the scenes as Dr. Nelson explains how HeartWorks is bridging the gap between research and real-world applications. By harnessing patient-contributed data, this initiative is overcoming the frustrations of traditional clinical trials, making them more effective and timely. Rachael Gott shares her personal journey with HeartWorks, emphasizing the significant impact of ongoing research and patient empowerment in the fight against congenital heart disease.

Discover how HeartWorks is turning obstacles into opportunities through a data-driven cooperative platform. This patient-owned model is not only increasing enrollment in clinical trials, but also creating a collaborative network of institutions across the nation. From engineering heart muscle cells from skin biopsies to making clinical trials more accessible, HeartWorks is revolutionizing the way we think about congenital heart disease care. Tune in to learn how you can support these efforts and contribute to a brighter future for individuals of all ages affected by congenital heart conditions.
