Revolutionizing Patient Comfort: The HeartSnug Story with Sara Dorbin and Lauren Orlik

What if the key to better patient care lies in a simple yet revolutionary garment? Meet Sarah Dorband and Lauren Orlick, the visionaries behind HeartSnug, on this week's Beyond Clinical Walls.

Lauren shares her insights on the broader implications of outdated medical attire for women and the LGBTQ+ community. Together, they shed light on the centuries-old stagnation in medical garment innovation and introduce HeartSnug—a sports bra with a front Velcro closure and elastic support designed to bring physical comfort and psychological security to patients. Celebrate with us as HeartSnug takes a significant leap forward, being selected for a prestigious fem-tech cohort in Connecticut, a recognition of its groundbreaking potential.

Join Sarah, Lauren, and their dedicated team member, Lisa Humiston, as they relentlessly work to make HeartSnug available to all.
