Transparency
Conquering CHD is the resounding voice of the congenital heart community. Our voice is strengthened by the involvement of all of those who share our mission - those who share their stories, and advocate on behalf of the people in their lives affected by congenital heart disease. Our efforts in transparency and public reporting of congenital heart disease outcomes are placed front and center at our annual Summit Series, and patients and families are a critical component of these advocacy measures. Read below for more background on transparency and public reporting, and be sure to join us at the next Summit!
