At LivaNova, we deliver life-changing solutions in select neurological and cardiac conditions.
As part of our mission, we support educational, charitable, and medical-scientific advancement endeavors that serve a genuine educational or public health function, benefit society, or that demonstrate good corporate citizenship.
These can take the form of monetary or in-kind educational grants, charitable, and indigent care donations.
At this time, we are unable to support donation requests for medical products other than for the VNS Therapy™ Access Program. If you would like to request financial support for your program, we invite you to submit your request through the forms below.
