As the world’s largest furniture manufacturing team, Ashley’s legacy of craftsmanship, mentorship, and innovation has shaped more than furniture: it has shaped homes and hearts.
Your builder’s mindset has deeply influenced the mission and momentum of HeartWorks, helping us reimagine what’s possible for children born with congenital heart disease.
Now, we invite you to build something even greater with us:
More options for families. Better outcomes for kids.
Stronger hearts. Brighter futures.
HeartWorks is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the future for children born with congenital heart defects (CHD)—the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 100 babies. Tragically, many of these children will not survive past their fifth birthday, and those who do often face limited options and resources. At HeartWorks, we believe that’s simply not acceptable.
Founded in June 2020, HeartWorks builds upon the groundbreaking work initiated by the Todd and Karen Wanek Family Program for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), established at Mayo Clinic in 2010. We are driven by a passionate team of scientists, doctors, researchers, heart families, and advocates all working together to advance innovation and deliver real solutions for those affected by CHD.
Our Purpose is to spark bold innovation that transforms our broken healthcare system into one that truly heals.
Our Mission is to find cures for congenital heart defects and change lives.
Our Vision is a future where people with CHD thrive, with a focus on lasting health and longevity—not just short-term fixes.
Becoming a partner in the HeartWorks Co-op isn’t just a commitment, it’s a catalyst. Your support has the power to transform lives by giving heart families more choices, fueling groundbreaking innovation, and accelerating the path to a cure.
Every dollar donated to HeartWorks goes directly towards our clinical trials and research designed to prevent or delay heart transplants.
