1 in 2 patients like Paul don’t make it
Every year, we tragically lose patients whose vital organs shut down because of their weakened heart. Your compassion has the power to greatly improve those terrifying odds… courtesy of the world’s smallest heart pump!
Your support can provide the hardworking doctors and nurses at Box Hill Hospital the best equipment possible to take care of you and your loved ones.
Life-saving technology
Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart struggles to pump enough blood and oxygen to your brain and other vital organs. The Impella Heart Pump, a tiny device inserted via an artery in the groin, sits directly inside the heart to help keep blood moving. This revolutionary equipment can increase the chance of survival from 50% to 80%!
Your gift today will:
· Provide a less invasive alternative to heart-lung bypass surgery or open-heart surgery
· Take the pressure off an already weakened heart, allowing it time to rest and strengthen
· Prevent organ failure by keeping blood circulating
The difference between life and death Your generosity can help pull a patient like Paul back from the brink of death. Make a donation now and give cardiac patients a fighting chance.
All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you for your support.
