Anthony DiLemme - Meet The Heart Valve Ambassadors
AHA Heart Valve Ambassador Anthony is an American Heart Association Heart Valve Ambassador who also blogs at Robovalve.
Since last summer, I have been volunteering for the American Heart Association as a Heart Valve Ambassador, alongside 8 other valve patients. We come in different shapes, sizes, ages, genders, and from all over the country. The AHA originally found me through my blog. Since becoming a volunteer, the AHA has featured me in their own blog, and connected me with the Wall Street Journal for an article about on heart surgery recovery. The role of the Heart Valve Ambassadors is to tell their story and to support new heart valve patients, especially through the American Heart Association’s Support Network; a social media platform in their website that allows patients to communicate and support each other. The Ambassadors are responsible for facilitating conversations on the Support Network.
When people go through something like heart surgery, they often look for others who are similar to them who have already been through it. I get lots of emails from people, especially those that are my age. If you are a heart valve patient, please check out the Heart Valve section and also feel free to message any of the Heart Valve Ambassadors directly. Read their stories and if they seem like they may be able to help you, please message them. That is our job as ambassadors.
