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!)
My father is my inspiration for this business! He had quadruple bypass surgery when he was 75 and I know now how important it is to have something to use to compress against the chest after open heart surgery. After many prototypes of making our pillows we have settled to what we feel is the very best design and comfortable feel ever to make ones recovery - whether it be from open heart surgery, or a mastectomy or any other type of surgery performed on the front of the body less painful! All of our heart pillows and mastectomy pillows are made by us right in the USA in Springfield, Ohio.
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. We will do everything we can to make this the best online experience you can have! You'll be so glad you found us!
On a side note, we were featured in the Sunday edition of the Springfield News Sun Newspaper! Read about it here:
Well, folks, thank you for visiting our site and supporting our small family business. God Bless all of you and may you never NEED one of our products!
