Over the past 10 months, Damar Hamlin has turned from being a safety for the Buffalo Bills to serving as a patient advocate seeking to make a greater impact on public health beyond his playing career.

Now, he has teamed up as an ambassador for Abbott’s HeartMates program, where he’ll help raise awareness about heart conditions.

Hamlin made headlines in January after experiencing cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He dropped to the field and had to be resuscitated by emergency personnel, which used CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) to restore his pulse over the course of 10 minutes.

Fortunately, Hamlin made a full recovery and currently remains on the Bills’ active roster.

However, in addition to continuing his football career, the now 25-year-old is hoping to make an impact by being a celebrity ambassador for people with heart conditions.

The Abbott HeartMates program’s mission focuses on fostering a community of patients with heart conditions as well as caregivers. Through this effort, Abbott aims to have patients and caregivers share their stories and receive support throughout their health journeys.

The HeartMates community is seeking more team members who will work with Hamlin, who wants his ambassadorship to help people with heart conditions feel like they, too, can have a comeback story.

“After experiencing a cardiovascular event that changed my life, I know the power and importance of having an engaged team to lean on for mental and physical recovery,” Hamlin said in a statement. “I’m partnering with Abbott to launch Heart Mates because we share a vision to offer the support and encouragement I received after my incident, so others feel empowered to achieve their own comeback stories.”

Of note, the partnership with Abbott was announced days before the Bills and Bengals are set to play each other on Sunday Night Football for the first time in Cincinnati since Hamlin’s injury.

Since Hamlin’s cardiac arrest and recovery at such a young age, he has set out to partner with prominent healthcare organizations and advocate for patients.

Earlier this month, Hamlin launched a fundraising campaign through his Chasing M’s Foundation, which focuses on emergency preparedness, CPR training and making sure that young athletes have access to life-saving tools like AEDs.

Over the summer, Hamlin also paired up with the American Heart Association as an ambassador for its A Nation of Lifesavers campaign. The goal of the effort is to double the survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest through boosting training and resources.

This builds upon Hamlin’s previous work with the AHA, which he originally started in February when he helped launch the #3forHeart challenge. That social media campaign, which took place during American Heart Month, sought to boost awareness around CPR practices.

For Abbott, having Hamlin as a celebrity face for its HeartMates program helps drive home the message that nobody makes a comeback alone, according to Nadim Geloo, senior director of medical affairs at Abbott’s structural heart business.

“Our HeartMates program creates a community of support and resources for those navigating their heart health and embodies our unwavering commitment to ensuring that no one faces these challenges alone,” she stated.

HCG: Accelerating the impact of your science

In a world where healthcare is moving fast, HCG is moving faster. Always ahead of the curve, HCG is spearheading the charge to turn scientific potential into real-world impact.

The song grew faint and louder again, then ceased, and she took her hand off his arm. "By-and-by the Tartars did come in reality, and the signal was sent out again. But this time no army came, nor did a single general turn his face to Pekin. The city fell into the hands of the invaders, and they are there to-day. So much for what a woman did; but it sounds too much like the story of 'The Boy and the Wolf' to be true. I stood equally amazed and alert. The voices still growled in the next room, and my horse's bridle still hung before the window. I peered out; there stood the priceless beast. I came a sly step nearer, and lo! in his shadow, flattened against the house, face outward, was Coralie Rothvelt comically holding the forked stick at a present-arms. Throbbing with a grateful, craving allegiance, I seized the rein. Then I bent low out the window and with my free hand touched her face as it turned upward into a beam of moonlight. She pressed my fingers to her lips, and then let me draw her hand as far as it could come and cover it with kisses. Then she drew me down and whispered "You'll do what I've asked?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:— "Meanwhile the clouds were gathering around you. Prout finds your husband's brother by a happy chance. Once he has done this, things become easy for us. The more easy they become for us the more desperate they grow for you. Then you decide that you must recover those notes from Isidore. You take out your motor car, so cunningly disguised in blacklead----" it makes the fourth time. No doubt about it, Daddy, goods are not High in the air, in the first mausoleum, at the head and foot of the white marble cenotaph, covered with letters that look like creepers, are tablets bearing inscriptions which record the life of the hero; and above the sarcophagus rises an almost impossibly light and airy structure—a canopy of white marble supported on columns as slender as flower-stems. And the Indian may be trusted to know of these. Here where the jacales clustered, there was grass and wood and water that might last indefinitely. The fortifications of Nature had been added to those of Nature's man. It was a stronghold. "Certainly," said the Surgeon, stopping on his way. "I guess I can spare a minute. Take off that bandage, my boy." MRS. GORDON: Not those poor things. They're slaves. He left the post with a great oath in his heart, and a thin trickle of blood on his chin. That summer old Mrs. Backfield became completely bedridden. The gratefulness of sunshine to her old bones was counteracted by the clammy fogs that streamed up every night round the farm. It was an exceptionally wet and misty summer—a great deal of Reuben's wheat rotted in the ground, and he scarcely took any notice when Tilly announced one morning that grandmother was too ill to come downstairs. Merritt presently departed; and at eight the two confederates again met. Soon a compact and resolute body of more than twenty men slowly and cautiously proceeded to the castle, and, in double file, ensconced themselves close to the walls, and so contiguous to the gate of usual egress as to be ready to rush in at the first opening. They had stood thus, scarcely drawing breath, for about half an hour; and Merritt, who, with the smith, was at the head of the little band, was about to propose that they should attempt to force an entrance, when the gate opened, and John Byles, who had been engaged upon some business with Calverley, unsuspectingly issued forth.
