We’re proud to highlight an important publication led by Dor Lotan, MD, and co-authored by Leslie Cooper, MD—two esteemed members of our Board of Directors.
Their article, “Navigating the Spectrum of Inflammatory Myocardial and Pericardial Syndromes: A Contemporary Approach to Diagnosis and Management,” offers valuable insights into the evolving understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of these complex cardiovascular conditions.
This work reflects their continued commitment to advancing education, awareness, and patient care in the field of inflammatory heart disease.

We were honored to participate in the Humble ISD Summer Family Resource Fair last week as part of the district’s commitment to community health and wellness. It was a meaningful opportunity to educate families and raise awareness about myocarditis.
One moment that truly stood out was meeting a mother whose 19-year-old son was recently diagnosed with pericarditis and concerns of myocarditis. She was grateful to connect with us, share her story, and gather information to better support her son. Moments like these remind us why awareness and education matter so much.

Another highlight of Myocarditis Awareness Month in Virginia!

We are deeply thankful to Governor Spanberger for recognizing April as Myocarditis Awareness Month in Virginia, in memory of Lillie Hall, daughter/granddaughter of one of our donors, Teri Elie. Lillie’s light continues to shine through this important awareness.

The month of April is Myocarditis Awareness Month in Texas and now in Virginia!! Virginia has officially recognized April as Myocarditis Awareness Month - now and every year moving forward. This meaningful resolution, introduced by Delegate Cliff Hayes and passed unanimously by the Virginia General Assembly, helps bring much needed awareness to this often overlooked condition. We’d like to honor the memory of a donors son, Mason, who tragically passed away from myocarditis in 2019. In the summer of 2019, Mason Hackworth was a rising junior at Grassfield High School in Chesapeake, Va where he was a member of the National Honor Society and the International Thespian Society. He loved playing his guitars, singing and playing video games. Unfortunately, on August 6, 2019, Mason died unexpectedly from Myocarditis.
