Unique Beating Hearts was founded by the main company that creates, manufactures, and implements the TAH into the market, and the help and initiative of some patients and now testimonies of the TAH procedure. Johnny Lemucchi, Lance White, and Randy Shepherd were all patients and passed the experience of living with an Artificial Hearts for at least 6 months and a year.
After the interventions of the Artificial Heart, these patients create Unique Beating Hearts in 2022. People with artificial hearts and heart disease might be in need and support after the treatment. Not only patients, but also relatives, family and friends who were around them given them support in all moments. Unique Beating Hearts was created to create a community of emotional and financial support for patients and relatives in a health situation.
Some words from one of the head members of Unique Beating Hearts is Johnny, who shared with us some words after the treatment; “The Total Artificial Heart is definitely a lifesaver. I felt 100 percent. I could’ve refereed soccer, I felt so good. If you need it, do it, no hesitation. With hospice, you know the end is coming; with the Total Artificial Heart, you know the future is coming” – Johnny 55, years old
