HeartWorks Featured on Before the Cure
What does it take to pursue a cure when the path forward requires building something entirely new?
HeartWorks CEO and Co-founder Dr. Tim Nelson recently joined hosts Timothy Wheeler and David Tsai on Before the Cure, a podcast dedicated to the people, persistence, uncertainty, and ideas behind medical innovation.
In the episode, “Why Did a Doctor Buy a 600,000-Square-Foot Hospital for $1?”, Tim shares the story behind HeartWorks and the decisions that have shaped its approach to congenital heart disease. The conversation explores what it takes to move promising science toward patients, why the traditional pace of innovation isn’t good enough for families waiting for better options, and why HeartWorks continues to build the people, facilities, technology, and infrastructure needed to accelerate progress.
And, of course, they talk about the $1 hospital.
The conversation offers a look at the thinking behind HeartWorks and the belief that changing the future of congenital heart disease will require more than a single discovery. It requires building an entire platform capable of moving discoveries forward.
A huge thank you to Timothy Wheeler, David Tsai, and the entire Before the Cure team for the opportunity to share this story and for creating a platform dedicated to the people working toward breakthroughs long before the outcome is certain.
We hope you’ll take some time to listen to the conversation and learn more about why HeartWorks was built and where we’re headed next.
