One of the most impactful moments I’ve witnessed working in the life sciences sector happened on the campus of Edwards Lifesciences last year.
Just months after having surgery, a patient met face to face with the team behind her heart valve replacement. She got to thank the people who built and inspected the very device now helping her heart function properly. They hugged, they clapped. For many of the Edwards team, it was the first time they were able to meet a patient whose life they changed.
It’s not often we see these moments up close – the ones where it’s so clear why we do what we do in the life sciences. This is what we do—deliver innovative solutions for healthier lives.
