About Ambassadors and the Abbott Ambassador Program
Your discussion with an Ambassador is meant to be a one-on-one conversation with an actual patient who has heart failure. Ambassadors are trained and advised not to disclose any information about you to Abbott or anyone else, but Abbott cannot guarantee that this disclosure will not happen. Therefore, please do not share any personal information about yourself with the Ambassador unless you wish to do so. Ambassadors are volunteers who are recipients of Abbott Heart Failure devices and willing to share their heart failure journey with you.
Abbott does not participate in or monitor your conversation with an Ambassador.
Ambassadors are not Abbott employees. Anything Ambassadors say during your conversation represents the beliefs of the Ambassador and does not necessarily represent the views of Abbott. Abbott encourages you to consider information about heart failure therapies carefully and discuss them with your doctor.
Abbott’s Heart Failure Ambassador Program is not intended to offer medical advice, counseling or technical support for Abbott products. Note that Abbott is a medical device manufacturer and cannot provide medical advice. For medical questions, please talk to your doctor. If you have an Abbott device and need technical support, please contact us.
