About Us

Through our State Chapters we are able to give knowledge, give a voice and give hope, directly meeting the comprehensive, lifelong needs of patients with congenital heart disease and their families through awareness, knowledge, community, and research programming. Local activities include:

• Conquering CHD Kits offering critical information and a personal connection for patients with CHD of all ages through individualized care packages
• Online chat networks bringing people with similar experiences together
• In-person peer support offering patients and families encouragement and insight from someone who has walked a similar path
• Social events providing a safe environment to celebrate life and simple joys together
• Physician education improving understanding of congenital heart disease from the patient and family perspective
• Research promotion and participation helping promising developments become reality
• Advocacy activities sharing our stories to improve federal research funding
