Julianne Brierley Patient

Julianne is a survivor. Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 28, she has lived an active life—working full time for a major pharmaceutical company, exercising, traveling, and being an involved, supportive mom and wife—all while managing heart failure and its challenges. Grateful for a second chance at life after receiving a heart transplant a year and a half ago, she’s ready to begin her next chapter, which will focus on helping women advocate for their health and supporting healthcare workers in the cardiac field. She’s honored to be here today.
