Our Story

Hello friends, 

Welcome to The Cardiac Bear!  I'm Lynette Evans and am the owner of this small family business, although my loving husband of 40 years - Bill helps me quite a bit!  He has retired from his first career and is now taking an encore with me and my business!​  Bill helps me in shipping, hand cutting vinyl for our hospital pillows (and doing all the heavy lifting for me!)

I started The Cardiac Bear in 2005 and it has been steadily progressing to adding more and more products all the time.  I opened an Etsy store in 2020 carrying the Cardiac Bears, Healing Hearts Pillows and most recently wrap around cardiac and mastectomy pillows.  

​​

Maureta - (A total Godsend!) has been working with me part-time since 2020. Maureta - a retired veteran (A Master Sgt, in the Air Force) helps me with the sewing and whatever else is needed!  Our recently added team of ladies - Diana and Pam have been a tremendous help in the day to day operations!

It is very important to all of us at The Cardiac Bear, that we give each and every customer our best - whether it be customer service in answering your questions, or sewing your product with professional expertise, or wrapping and shipping out your product.  We strive to give all of you our best so that each order is worthy of a 5 star review.  We know that should you need one of our pillows, we understand that this can be a stressful and scary time, so we certainly don't want to add any undo stress to your life.  If there should be anything wrong with your pillow or other product, please let us know so we can make it right with you!

  

On a side note, we were featured in the Sunday edition of the Springfield News Sun Newspaper!  Read about it here:
