Abbott HeartMates Program

HeartMates on Hallmark

Our teammates are having a Hollywood moment. Join the community and join in on the fun.

This team has heart

What’s the Abbott HeartMates program all about? Building a community where people with heart conditions can build each other up. Because that’s what great teammates do.

HeartMates was inspired by pro football player Damar Hamlin’s remarkable comeback from sudden cardiac arrest during a game.

And now, Damar’s story — and the stories of five other incredible HeartMates community members — has inspired the Hallmark Channel movie “The More the Merrier,” which premiered Nov. 28 and is airing throughout the holiday season.
