During Congenital Heart Disease Week, we proudly highlight the work of the Stanford Adult Congenital Heart Program (https://med.stanford.edu/cvmedicine/affinity-groups/adult-congenital.html) dedicated to advancing lifelong, specialized care for adults living with congenital heart disease.

Through multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and patient-centered care, the program is helping close gaps in ACHD access and improving outcomes across the lifespan.

Happy Heart Month! Every February, we’re filled with gratitude for the ongoing support of the ACHA community. Your efforts help raise awareness about lifelong care for adults born with congenital heart defects (CHD), the most common birth defect in the U.S. Despite much of the spotlight falling on acquired heart disease this month, we are deeply appreciative of your work being done to highlight the importance of recognizing CHD as well. Thank you for helping us spread CHD awareness by sharing this message and telling the world about the most common birth defect. ❤️
